How can I download pdf/epub/...-files in the browser?
Hi!
I use owncloud to store ebooks, music etc and I often download ebooks from gutenberg.org. With Android I used to save them on my sdcard in case I use a train and the internet connection fails or being on a plane or the like. With FFOS 1.3 this is not possible. The browser only offers to "open link in new tab", but not to download the files. I see the pretty obvious workaround to download it to a desktop computer and via usb to ext-sdcard. But I think there should be a way to do this more 'naturally'.
Kind regards
Stefan

I tried to reproduce the problem with a ZTE Open and FFOS 2.0.
On Gutenberg.org, I tried the "download ebup" link. It redirected me to another page, but could not load it. In the meanwhile, I was notified the download had started, but it never completed. Then, checking "Settings > Downloads", I found out that the download was actually stuck on 0kb. By using the stop and retry functions in the Downloads panel, though, the download actually started and successfully completed.
In the end I managed to download the file, but things clearly did not work as they should.
Hi hnkchnsk and Enrico,
Thanks for sharing these details! I was also able to reproduce this issue on a Flame device v2.0 running the latest build.
I reported it on Bugzilla so that our contributors and engineers in the project can investigate it:
Thanks!! =)
