Alas, that's the type of search that led me to ES File Explorer.  Guess 
the users reviewing that app don't care about intrusive ads.  I'm not 
against some ads *within* a free app, like features that say you have to 
upgrade WHEN you try to use them or a banner in their GUI.  ES File 
Explorer is rife with ads when you try their Analyzer feature.  The din 
of the spam noise swamps out finding the feature.  So I just wouldn't 
bother using their Analyzer to avoid that spam noise.  It was when I got 
notifications shoved at me from this intrusive app got immediately 
uninstalled.  I'd see the notification LED blinking, hear the beep for 
the notification, unlock my phone, drop down the notification panel, and 
there was some spam crap from this app.  Not going to happen any more 
with that app.  It's gone!

There is the "My Files" app but haven't found much in there.  Alas, I 
just deleted the downloaded movie to free up the 800+ MB of space it was 
consuming of main memory.  Will have to do the download again and see if 
"My Files" shows the movie file.  I did find in that app a Comcast 
folder so I'll look there after the download completes.  Now I have to 
wait for the download to complete.  Argh!

What's your guess for the extension of a downloaded movie file?  My 
guess is .mp4 but cannot be sure until I find one of their downloads.
