Is it my brand spanking new S4 or what? But every rom I try to download takes forever and for the most part end up failing.
So far I have tried jedi, darkstar, and several others.
The only rom I have managed to get it the stock rom to odin back too incase of emergencies.
Does ES File Explorer's built in download manager work?

Use Opera Classic. It's the only browser I use for downloading large files. It's also the only browser that doesn't have problems on file hosting sites like rapidgator/ul.to with captcha.
To make sure my dls of large files are uninterrupted, I lock Opera in memory using Memory Locker.

Thanks for the responces, ive managed to download a rom I really like and im happy with it...im a reformed flashaholic so no more large roms needed lol.
reformed flashaholic, i like that. I'm proud of you lol
A lot of the ROMs are 1 or 1.5 gbs.
I've found it's easier to download via CPU and transfer the file to the phone.

Hmmm. My issues were related to the device sleeping while a download exists. If something creates an ongoing notification, it is already locked by the system to stay alive. So that app really isn't needed unless no notification is created when downloading.

I don't know if the stock android browser supports it, but in Dolphin Browser or Opera you can download any type of file. You can use something like file expert to open the zip file.

I've never experienced any issues downloading any files, let alone zip files, using multiple browsers. I'm currently using a blacked out version of Dolphin mini (ty Starsky's rom) and have yet to have an issue still. I usually use Root Explorer to move the file to the folder of my choice, and I guess roms take a bit longer than most files (size) but never any issues. Good luck!

What ROM are you on?
I think it's the file host some of the rom devs use, or possibly his router. For certain roms, downloading over wifi fails no matter what I do, and I end up using 3G.(unlimited plan, 150mb is nothing)

I downloaded it, but there was a problem with the file. a lot of files I get from the goo.im servers seem to have the same problem. they appear corrupted and won't flash. on another thread someone mentioned that that server adds a .html extension to the file and that removing that so that it ends in .zip should fix it, but all the files i have already end in .zip and before anybody suggests otherwise, yes I've adjusted the settings on my windows computer to not hide file extensions.
Downloaded it, but couldn't get it to install. I haven't had issues with any other roms. Tried wiping the device, and the cache. Put the zip initially on the internal memory then the external sd, but just get an invalid zip error from recovery, with the image of the android on his back with a door to his stomach open and red ball figure above it. A little traumatizing really, but when I get a little more time I will flash a different recovery. Heard in the past that has cured some flashing issues. That is unless someone else has some other suggestions.
This rom doesnt flash either

Do we need to do a full wipe if coming from the stock RoM???
Is anyone having issues downloading files on your device? This is a first one for me. I have more than enough memory on both sd cards but my downloads fail at 99%. I've tried different roms to see if maybe it was just the one I was running but they all seem to have the same results. I've been trying to download Jovys Stockorama v2 but it keeps failing. Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this to happen? Thanks in advance guys!

Have you tried downloading it with Download Manager? I have had that issue using the stock download app before but it works fine with the Download Manager app.
I didn't even think to do that! I'm going to try it right now and see if it works for me. Will update shortly

I've had this problem when I'd use boat browser, it would always fail at 99%. Wouldn't matter what I'd be downloading. The way i got past it was by installing dolphin browser and use that.
I actually used dolphin too and I had the same errors. I am using download manager right now to see if it works. I had a hard time connecting to the server I think they were having issues. I'm at 50% at the moment. I hope it works!!

I am having the same issue with larger files, usually I just try a different browser until one finally works (ie Chrome, Dolphin, xScope, Next Browser, Lightning, Boat Browser, Firefox, Opera, etc. - Usually one out of two or three will work.)
Question for Aerowinder AND anyone reading this running CM10.1, are you getting hotboots (random reboots without the SGS3 boot logo) on CM10.1? --- I've had this happen a lot when I'm taking the time to download these files on WiFi... I read somewhere that the d2mo CM Team is working on a new kernal to solve such issues, but its a pain when doing such tasks on WiFi...
I tried download manager but it downloaded with errors. It also took twice as long to download. Which app are you using?

Here is the 4.3 system dump that was given to us awhile ago. I put everything into a flashable zip.
So far everything is working with the exception of the data/cell network dropping when on 4G (2G and LTE do not have this issue) i am thinking its a radio issue seeing as we don't have the latest radio.
There really isn't anything special about this so don't ask for anything. It is NOT DEBLOATED so grab yourself a root explorer and start deleting
I am simply sharing this for the whole. I posted it in the General forum under the system dump 4.3 thread but figured many people don't see that. We hopefully will have the official release in one week. So once Sammobile gets the odin flashable file posted i will extract that and make a much nicer ROM (Titled warpdrive of course )
So until then, have fun playing with 4.3 TW Tmo (Nothing really special though)
Oh also wanted to mention, any multi window mod is not working. Haven't really tinkered yet as to why. Other wise, xposed modules are working (with the exception of some)
Download here:
TouchWiz 4.3 T-Mobile
In an effort to fix the loss of network when screen is off, i added the Toggle2G app to allow you to toggle 2G data in sleep mode. (Thank you @TheMasterBaron Original Thread)
YOU WILL REQUIRE A FULL WIPE!!! (use 2 ply for best results...)

Another note: it does not contain newer firmware. I was most interested in the firmware

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I could get some suggestions on good wifi file transfer apps - like my last Samsung I can't for the life of me get this phone to be recognized by Windows. I am rooting and running the awesome Kang AOKP ROM.
WiFi File Explorer is having trouble moving files around - I keep getting network errors on my failed downloads in Chrome on my PC.
Any other more stable app suggestions?

I find ES explorer to do pretty much anything I need. Wifi, samba, bluetooth, wifi direct. Also free in the market, and allows root access (su permitting)

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
Thanks for the suggestions I will check them both out... I already have ES but didn't configure any servers on it. I am having luck with WiFiDroid- another freebee
