Froyo does not support apk downloads?

[kobecamp2009]

When I try to download an apk from a different website, I get an error saying this file is not supported. Yes I have the non market installation checked.

If the website doesn't send the correct headers with the file them the phone doesn't realise it's an APK. Same happened on 2.1 normally on sites with download redirects.

Try using download crutch lite. Lets me download pretty much any type of file.
