I have been trying to get some people to test an android app and needed a friendly way to delivery it since it is not currently on the marketplace. I had uploaded it to my website and found that mostly every attempt to download failed. This was wither through the android emulator or actual devices.
I was only able to successfully download on 1 device personally and the rest of the users reported download unsuccessful/failed.
I put the file on 2 different webservers and and I was successfully able to download via android browser from the other servers.
What should I tell my primary host so I can resolve this problem?

Why APK won't install on Android? First, make sure that your Android version supports the APK version you want to install. Also, remove the Play Store version of the app before installing an APK. Don't forget to check the storage space and permission to install apps from unknown sources.
To get started, download and install the APK downloader extension from the Chrome Web Store. After you have installed the extension, every time you open an app page on Play Store you will see a green droid button in the Omnibar. You can directly click on the icon to start the download of the APK file.
They need to add the mine type for ".apk" to "application/vnd.android.package-archive"
I had a similar problem and fix it by adding the mime type to the site configuration in IIS. On Apache I haven't encountered the problem.
