812819 - remove partial download

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Tom Schneider]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:16.0) Gecko/20121026 Firefox/16.0 SeaMonkey/2.13.2
Build ID: 20121026205451

Steps to reproduce:

Put seamonkey to a page with a PDF download, example:
http://schneider.ncifcrf.gov/papers/logo/
start the download by, for example clicking on "PDF version of the paper logopaper."
A small window pops up (on the Mac OS X 10.6.8).  Instead of clicking to Save, click Cancel.


Actual results:

At the moment that the small window appears, a file with a random string
followed by a period, the file type, a period and 'part' appears in the target directory.  Examples:

upeRtDw5.pdf.part 
ZhiOdHY5.pdf.part   
W3fZ6jQC.pdf.part 

These files are empty (contain 0 bytes).
When one clicks 'Cancel',
the small window disappears.  The 'part' file remains.  
The user has to remove the empty files by hand.



Expected results:

The 'part' file should be removed when one does a Cancel or it should not have been created until
the person committed to the download.

DUP of this ? Bug 420355 - residual .part file when I cancel a download from Save As dialog

Yes, it does look like a duplicate of Bug 420355.
However, I tested it with a 174 MB file just now and the .part file disappeared
as it should!  So is the bug solved and Bug 420355 isn't up to date?
