Fix Installous 4.4.2 download folder

When i try to download iap (application) from installous 4.4.2 ( using iPad2 and running ios 5.0.1 ), it end up with strange behavior. Usually after i click download link, installous will begin to download the file, and the iap files will be showed at the download section, including all the download information.

But i got :



When you click download, installous will still download the iap file, but after finish you will never see it at 'Downloaded' section of installous, so you cannot install it.

<<--- Not suggest, i just got it from googling for 2 hours -->>
To fix this you can used iFile to :

1. move the iap file from /var/mobile/library/Downloads to /var/mobile/Documents/Installous/Downloads
2. Reopen your installous, then the application will appear at 'Downloaded' section.

If you want to keep doing this for all the iap files that you download, it will waste your time and seem not very comfortable way to get the application via installous, also not many iDevice user familiar with cut-n-paste file inside iDevice directory.

Here the final solution to fix this unusual behavior of installous :

1. Open your Cydia, go to Manage->Packages (for iPhone/iPod) or Installed (for iPad), find 'Safari Download Plug-in'
2. Klik Modify then Remove it.
3. Reopen your installous, then try to download some application.

My final conclusion (sorry if i was wrong) is that 'Safari download plug in' is not compatible with installous 4.4.2 and ios 5.0.1, hope it will get fixed soon.

This solution also worked for ipod, iphone or ipad.

Thanks.
