Downloading large files directly to a storage card

[Guest bilclintonsdaman]

I just got a 2gb microSD for my Cingular 8525, and need to know if there's a way to download files off the net directly to the card, because the files (songs off archive.org) are too large to fit in the storage memory (>20mb). Can anyone help me out?

anyone? no one else has this problem?

Easiest way is to do it on a PC with a card reader. Alternatively the free software thread has a fix to allow PIE to use the storage card for temporary files which might work.

It's pretty simple,

tap on the file you want

in the Download box that opens select 'save as...

and select storage card from the location drop down box

lol well i knew that, the problem was partway through the download i'd get a 'storage is getting full' message, leading me to believe that it was downloading the file to the main memory and then transfering it to the memory card. but i got opera and it doesn't seem to have this problem; i downloaded a full 22.1mb file today with no problems.

although i didn't try the PIE temp files tweak, that sounds like it'd work. thanks all :)
