[Resolved] Browser doesnt download files that "arent supported"

---

I tried to download a pdf earlier and the browser refused to download the file saying that its not supported...

Is there a way around this annoying issue?

Edit: Astro File Manager allows you to override browser download restrictions in its preferences. Problem solved.

That's weird, I havnt run into that and I have been downloading all sorts of crap from both browser and dropbox. Do you have a pdf reader installed? Try installing a reader and then downloading.

Had same issue use alternative browser and its fine

Thats kind of silly that samsung gimped the native browser so badly... I mean, are there any browsers that are better from a speed perspective?

there are some that are faster but buggier

i personally like xscope and skyfire

dolphin browser hd used to be on my list but lately its super buggy and laggy

Simple fix: just install ASTRO.

Astro lets you override browsers from preventing downloads on unsupported files. It's in the settings/preferences.

Ah ha. Thanks guys.

I stopped using Astro cause it didnt support 7z files...

I guess i should support those guys again

Hi, as another option I like using other file managers besides astro so I installed download file crutch it is not available in the market but you can find links for it here. Right now I am using that with estrongs file manager and it is great.
