If i try to download  "within temptation - ice queen - 01 - ice queen
(radio).mp3" i get the "save as" message dialog, i select "save this file to
disk" press "ok" the file is saved to disk "0 byte" because of a download error
(error is also not displayed while downloading !!). If i then try to delete the
file with or without Mozilla running using explorer i get a "Cannot delete file
is being used by another program".

I also tested this on a Windows NT 4.0 workstation and i can delete the file
with no problem.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Got to URL: http://www24.brinkster.com/stardust2000/stardust2000mp3/wt.htm

2. Click  "within temptation - ice queen - 01 - ice queen (radio).mp3"
3. Save file to disk
4. Try to delete the file, i get a "File is being used by another program".


Actual Results:  What i've described...

Expected Results:  Give me a errormessage when downloading of the file failed,
and not save the file at all.

Workaround to "kill" the file is to select a working download and "save as" the
file name that has the 0-byte filelength. After downloading you can delete the file.
