Downloading an .apk from a Site never finishes. Rights issue?

Same here on all ics builds.

Also observed on :
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/landing-snowball/#build=149

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open website http://www.ardroid.net/apps/ using browser app.
2. Select any apk file from the listed apps. Download will start.
3. Notification area shows download -"In progress" forever. download never finishes.

There is a fix available (provided by Vishal), it enabled ipv6 and netfilter within the kernel config.

Abhishek Paliwal (abhishek-paliwal), please add a test case to the QA test sheet.

Looks like there is a problem with Download Manager in Android

configs in the patch in comment 3 fixes the issue. It needs to be enabled across all the builds.

Tried the above patch in Origen But still does not work:

Logcat:
I/DownloadManager( 2336): Initiating request for download 7
W/DownloadManager( 2336): Aborting request for download 7: no network connection available

Eventhough internet works!

The download from Browser can be started, but the status always be "in progress". In stead of using Browser, it can be easily done with busybox wget:

Connecting to people.linaro.org (91.189.95.20:80)
DisableSuspend.apk 100% |*******************************| 15401 0:00:00 ETA

79c0e43863b339ebdf9b62906f3b95e9 DisableSuspend.apk
root@android:/sdcard/Download #

The MD5 is same as the one I downloaded in my laptop:

noname@noname-t420:~/work/linaro$ md5sum DisableSuspend.apk
79c0e43863b339ebdf9b62906f3b95e9 DisableSuspend.apk
noname@noname-t420:~/work/linaro$

Something wrong in the Browser Download Manager I think.

downloading using "busybox wget <filelocation/filename> works fine.

Hi Botao,
Could you confirm whether the Download is not working only on Ethernet ?
or if its not working both on WiFi and Ethernet for Origen Board?

Observed on 12.06 RC1 build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/origen-ics-gcc47-samsunglt-stable-blob-12.06-release/#build=1

@Annamalai, Yes, it doesn't work on both Ethernet & WiFi. wget works well on both WiFi & USB Ethernet adapter mode.

There are board specific bugs to track the apk download problems. Closing this one.
