Guide to downloading large files on a BlackBerry

A lot of people have asked me how I download TV
series, Japanese anime and Movies on my
BlackBerry. So I've dicided to publish a guide on
how I do it.

What you will need:
--------------------------
• A BlackBerry phone, preferabbly with 3G. I use a
BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300. (BlackBerry Curve 8520
will not work as it has a download cap of about
25mb and will fail the download.)
• BlackBerry Browser (preinstalled)
• Opera Mini Browser Latest version (download
available at http://www.mini.opera.com )
• A PC or Laptop to watch the shows, movies,
anime etc.
• BlackBerry USB Link cable to connect your phone
to your PC or Laptop.

Okay, so what usually happens with the BlackBerry
browser is that when you try to open a non-mobile
website (i.e. a website specifically for a PC) the
browser will take so long that you get timed-out or
a pop-up message states "Sorry, this page is taking
too long to load, closing browser" or whatever. The
reason it does this is because the file size of the
page is too large compared to a mobile page which
has a relatively small file size. So what do you do?!

1. Open Opera Mini and go to the desired webpage
(Links at bottom)
2. Select the show, movie etc. that you wish to
download.
3. Make sure you have the right link to the file
(that's the link that if you click on it the download
starts).
4. DO NOT start the download in Opera Mini, it will
fail. Instead scroll over the link, push 1 on the
keypad and select "Open in new tab".
5. Open the tab, cancel the Opera download. The
tab should still be open with the exact download
link.
6. Push the menu button, go to the address bar
and select and COPY the link.
7. Back to the BlackBerry browser. Where it says
"type search or address" PASTE the link you
copied.
8. Save the file to a place you will remember or to
the default file.
9. Be sure to put your phone in a spot that has full
3G as the download will go quicker.
10. Once the download is complete, connect your
phone to your PC or Laptop and copy the file to
somewhere on your HDD (Hard Drive).
11. Unplug your phone, sit back and watch your
newly downloaded movie or episode. :)
