I have realized that Firefox download manager uses cached files corresponding to
similar URL instead of downloading real files.
http://www.babylonsounds.com/sunbird/sunbird_2004-11-01.zip
http://www.babylonsounds.com/sunbird/sunbird_2004-11-02.zip (does not exist)
(Maybe it gets confused by numbers in the name, thinkig it was saved yet ?)

Some times download a file and save it twice with diferent names. (i.e.
gaim-1.0.2.exe was also saved as gaim-2.0.2.exe )

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download http://www.babylonsounds.com/sunbird/sunbird_2004-11-01.zip
2.Try to download http://www.babylonsounds.com/sunbird/sunbird_2004-11-02.zip
and http://www.babylonsounds.com/sunbird/sunbird_2004-11-03.zip (inexistent files)

Actual Results:  
Identical file is saved with 3 diferent names
Sunbird_2004-11-01.zip
Sunbird_2004-11-2.zip
Sunbird_2004-11-3.zip
