    I've not really found a straight forward answer one this but, how do I go about downloading large MP3 files, via http, to the SD card? I know there are some file size limitations on downloading files, but is there a way to get around these limitations? I don't have access to the web server so I can't implement a file splitting solution.

    I've also tried to stream the audio file via the methods used in the bufferedplaybackdemo, but that seems to really flaky and inconsistent on when it works....in fact I've only seen start to work once for about 2 seconds.

    I'm confused, are you downloading in the BB browser or using the http API?

    I'm using the API.

    Most http daemons these days can "continue" so if you send the right combination of http headers you could get chunks of 1-4M at a time.

    Not sure if this is a solution or not, but another option might be to write your own HTTP handling code using the sockets API.
