Re: how to download files to the droid

Install Astro File Manager from the Market. You have to have a file manager in order to DL. Also it depends on the type of file you are trying to DL.

Re: how to download files to the droid

I use a program called "Download Crutch". It makes it so you can download any file type from the browser.

Re: how to download files to the droid

Dolphin Browser can download more things than the default browser. Also, 'steel' browser works for some additional file types. 'Download Crutch' is good to have as well.

Re: how to download files to the droid

Download Crutch appears to have been removed from the market, the .apk does work however so if you want it you can get it from one of us here.

Dang, that's annoying. I wonder why it was removed? I wiped my phone when installing a new ROM and haven't yet installed Download Crutch...could you post the APK here?
