Which files cannot be downloaded with the stock browser? In any case, the browser is closed source, so it's hard to see a fix. One workaround would be to use wget. Copy the link address of the file you want to download, then launch xterm and use

Code:
wget <link_to_file> -O <output_filename>
This method has the added bonus of enabling you to choose where to save the file.
