Hi Tony, Are you on a data plan or WiFi? When you normally open tiddlywiki.com/empty in your browser, how long does it take?
I'm wondering if some combination of a data plan and/or your remoteness from the main TW site may slow things down enough that the items don't immediately appear on your list. Unfortunately, if you navigated away from Q in the mean time, then it may not know how to add the download to the main list. I might have to prioritized persistence of the download manager. empty-20190218014-17-29.html and empty-20190218014-17-18.html would have been the items downloaded. When you view them in your browser, are they OK? TIDDLYWIKISTUB7383952824269779 is a stub file typically created when you navigated via the System explorer. I don't think it's the empty file unless it was created when you navigated with the system explorer. In general, you shouldn't be seeing the stub file. The stub files are temporary and get erased when the app reboots. Too hard to diagnose at a distance ;-( Just to confirm, you say the two empties downloaded to your *internal* download directory? Do you have a SD card, and is it formatted as external or internal memory (Starting 7 (?) you have to tell Android whether you want your card to be formatted as though internal space -- giving more space for apps -- or as external space -- giving more space for shared MP3s, photos, etc.). I might be able to manage swipe left to leave some day, but swiping from the list into the browser would be much more challenging.
