User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 I use the e-smith SMB file sever (based on RedHat Linux). The user interface is accessed through a browser. When I run a backup, it creates a compressed file that gets saved to a hard drive on the client machine. The main hard drive on my Fedora Core 1 machine is only 10GB and the available file space is significantly less than that. The size of the backup file is 9.7GB. So I mounted a 160GB ext3 USB drive onto my system and started the backup, which Download Manager treats as a download file copy to the target drive. For the duration of the download, there is no disk activity on the USB drive and occasional main hard drive activity. (It is as though Download manager is trying to cache the file on the local hard drive before transferring it to the removable USB drive -- pure conjecture on my part.) When it gets to what I suspect is the free space limit on my main drive, the download fails. When I try the same process with Konqueror, the file transfer immediately starts to write to the USB drive and, after some considerable time, since the file is so large, the download completes successfully. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Initiate download of very large file to USB drive. 2. 3. Actual Results: Download fails without appearing to write to the USB drive. Expected Results: Write to the USB drive continuously/in bursts as the download progresses and complete the download to the USB drive successfully. If the file to be downloaded is relatively small, the download completes successfully.
