how to download big files without Wifi on lumia 520

When i try to download a file bigger that 30 mb the phone tells me what to do. it says turn on the wifi to download the file because is too big. i want to turn off this function.. To use only cellular data to download whatever i want.

Hi,

Could you confirm your location please
Are you on 8.1?

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it at this time. That's a WP "feature" which cannot be disabled. There is a workaround if you or a friend has another device that can use your SIM card. You can take your SIM card and put it in another device. Turn on the hotspot and connect your phone to it with WiFi. Download away!
