[APP] Download Buddy New Download App on the Market - xda-developers

I used Download Buddy friday to download a 608mb file that I couldn't download before. The only issue was if I tried to change directory, it FC'ed. So I just moved it later with Astro. This was on 3g. Also, it failed twice when I was driving through the mountains and lost signal.

I, too, ran into this issue. I started to get angry cuzz it used to work. Now, it at times, download these .bin files. I tried to rename it with .apk - but still doesnt work. Anyhow, i tried to dl on 4shared and finally got it to work. after the count down, click and hold on the dl link and a pop up will show and you will download the apk or whatever file. hope this helps

Why didn't renaming it work? Its always worked for me using Root explorer or Astro. Glad you found a work around tho.
