How To Resume UC Browser 'link Expired' Downloads / Is Chrome Really Better Than Uc Browser? / Google Removes UC Browser From Play Store (2) (3) (4)
UC Browser No Longer What It Used To Be by icon91(m): 3:46am On Apr 03, 2020 |
Hi guys, i have been using UC browser for years now, it has been quite helpful in resuming downloads for files(heavy and small alike) after interruptions either from exhausted sub, network fluctuations, expired links etc, usually little tricks are been applied using the .dltemp files which is a temporal file created alongside files currently being downloaded to continue your downloads in a worse case scenario, with that you can never loose your heavy files like games, videos...that stopped midway, but i have come to realise that from version 11 to the current version of UC Browser for android, the .dltemp file doesn't exist again, i have lost some files that stopped midway due to absence of this .dltemp file, i did report about this on play store but no positive reply so far, i know some guys are facing this same issue, pls guys that download heavy files using phones, is there any other browser or download manager that will ensure not losing your files midway, or any way to work around these not so good new versions of UC browser to ensure your full downloads? 5 Likes |

The dltemp file still exists but has been renamed to .cfg and it is only available for apks and zip files not available for videos. You can try installing old versions of uc mini or try adm download manager. 6 Likes |

If you have any download heavy or light, you can use idm for andriod. It is very effective. You can load multiple downloads at a go 2 Likes |

Uc browser's unique ability of resuming paused/interuppted downloads was what usually gave them an edge over opera , if their newer versions lose that feature then they would lose market. 1 Like |

That's not how it works. Some site works with resume - ability while somr break away links instantly. This also happens on Almighty idm so it's no surprise. 2 Likes |

I left Opera mini and UC Browser because of too much adverts, now using Opera Browser - the best with ADM |

The issue is due to many factors and not the browser. 1. It may be due to poor network 2. Expired link, after downloading once and ur download halts half way and ur link is fine all of a sudden,u re good to go with ur remaining download and link still active. But if ur bandwidth signal is loss or low before url link time out most of them redirect u to another ftp/storage server to download your file starting from 0% allover again. 3. It depends on the website u re downloading from too, as most of them redirect u to ftp/storage server to download your file. 4.Updates on browser re meant to secure, enhanche user interface of browser, increase speed and efficiency of the browsers and not the kther way round. 5.If you re frustrated with any of this, i will recommend ADM as othe pple on the platform has told u earlier. |

Thanks guys I have given ADM a try, it's not bad I still use UC Browser to Surf/Browse but once I'm about to download i use ADM UC browser has lost its glory because auto resume downloads of heavy files is its main trademark In the past, nothing will make you loose your midway downloaded files, whether you're downloading from sites that their links expire after every session, bad network providers etc So long as the .dltemp file is there, with a little trick, you must resume your downloads,(by removing the downloaded parts from uc downloads folder using file explorer, restarting the downloads again, once it's about 1mb or so, pause it, then go back to your uc downloads, delete the new file alongside its .dltemp file, paste back the old partly downloaded file in same uc downloads directory, go back to your browser, resume your download, it will automatically continue from where the first download stopped) i used to download games of 6gb and more and have never lost my files for any reason(s) using older UC browsers Nowadays, UC takes up so much space, it's slow at times, too much ads..e don cast At all at all sha, i dy still manage am alongside ADM PS: Older versions/turbo versions as suggested by some guys here can't be installed |
