Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 142824

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Prabir Mitra]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020605
BuildID:    2002060511

If you download say, 2000 files then the download manager goes crazy.
"downloads.rdf" get huge (say > 1 Mb) and each time you download a file 
download manager will append that file on the disk. This make download extremely
slow, particularly the "saving part". Also in such case removing a file from
download manager window will take at least 3-4 minutes.

And not surprisingly, even a small download then takes up 99% CPU for at least 1
minute in a machine witn 256MB RAM and 800MHz Pentium III
and only running KDE desktop.
  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download large number of files, say > 1000
2. each additional download becomes slow
3. 

Actual Results:  download manager takes forever. download takes long long time

Expected Results:  should be fast. 

workaround is: delete "downloads.rdf" file from .mozilla/default/taoxn0x9.slt/
directory. Download again becomes very fast.
