When downloading this from download.com, mozilla takes too long to start the
download, and ends the download suddenly. GetRight (a previous version I was
trying to upgrade) handle with no problems, and the download started faster. No
multi-sources where enabled for GetRight. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to download.com, search for getright and just try to download it


Actual Results:  The download starts and it suddenly ends at 4KB or so.

Expected Results:  Download the complete file

I will try some other downloads and tell you if it is with all of them.
It looks like Mozilla's fault, if anyone else can reproduce it, because the 
download works fine on Internet Explorer.  Got up to 300K before I cancelled it.
I've just downloaded 200k of the link before cancelling, in Mozilla.

It sounds to me like it's just a dodgy connection/server, nothing
is wrong with Mozilla ...
Mozilla 1.0RC1 for Linux correctly detects the file's size and successfully
downloads it.

Reporter, you say that you use GetRight for downloads but now Mozilla won't
download this file for you.  Have you tried downloading this or other files
using Mozilla's built-in downloading method without any 3rd party tools?
At first I tried downloading the file without GetRight. I had it installed but
as it required a plugin to work with Mozilla, Mozilla was handling downloads.

That's when the problem came up. At the same time, I could get the file using
GetRight explicitely (typing the URL in it, without Mozilla in any way). That's
what led me think it was a Mozilla's problem and not server/connection.

Now I have already installed the pluging and can't get Mozilla to handle the
download. It passes it all the time to GetRight. If I Shift-click a link (to
force a browser download) Mozilla gets a  redir.htm, but it works ok in IE6.
Perhaps this bug should be in the Plugins component, since this seems to be a 
GetRight plug-in problem.

Just a question : on younger builds (after 1.0 final), is http pipelining guilty
for that kind of problem (see bug 161013 for example).

Reporter, are you able to reproduce this problem after you clear your disk cache?
I tried to download today from the URL and it worked successfully with 1.3b. I
also tried downloading current GetRight 4.5e from download.com and it also
worked nicely. Since this is an old report and very fuzzy, I guess may have been
related with some early network or protocol error in Mozilla.

I suggest to close this and not waste more time.

The problem is right now there's no bug... very hard to fix in this case indeed!
