I sometimes download podcasts when i am out and about but it just seems to hang after a few minutes and never completes the download. I assume that this is because the files are bigger than the internal memory i have available on the device. Does anyone know how to download files to the sd card rather than the system memory

Cheers
Chris

hi, in my experience, when you click a link for download a window appear that ask you if you want to change the the file name and where to save. and I just chane it to storage card. didn't your universal do this? i've just downloaded a 12MB file with my universal and saving it to my storage card. the largest file I download was a 32MB file.

In my experience, the file being downloaded in pie is actually stored in a temporary file on the main storage memory, and then moved to whatever destination you required. There's no way around this, unless you your a download manager-type app.

This is just *my* experience, though. your mileage may vary.
