Default [Q] How to enable download through 4G?

I'm new to the galaxy section so give me a little break. My previous 2 devices never had this issue.

How to you enable the phone to download files(any files) through your 4g network or even wiring?
I cannot seem to be able to download ANYTHING to my phone regardless of wifi or 4g.

I can download from the market which works fine. Its only downloads.from like multi upload and stuff.

I've had the issue as well. I tried many different sites. Typically megaupload worked for me but not on this device. I have no workaround that I have found yet and can suggest.

Download Astro file manager from the market its free, then open it, go under file manager/ then scroll the top tabs right to "preferences" and put a check mark next to enable browser downloads. Works for me.

I use "Download all files" from the market because astro didn't work for me. Give it a try if you find yourself in my situation.

Opera Mobile is also better about downloading files.

I noticed this issue with the browser too. I installed FireFox mobile and it works great for downloading from Multiupload!

Dolphin HD is much slower than Opera Mobile and has trouble with sites like fileserve.
