Reporter : did you try with a 1.1 release candidate built on 18 august 2002 ?

Comment 2

[hanasaki]

8/18/2002 was not tried.  Bug 163796 & 163797 are Critical Show Stoppers for me
so I rolled back to 8/12/2002 as below.

How much free space was in your /tmp partition?

Comment 4

[Jo Hermans]

Reporter: do you have a 50MB cache ? I noticed last week that I couldn't
download a new Mozilla vertsion, because I had set my cache to 5MB. I went away
when I went back to 50MB.

Could it be caused by the checkin for bug 81724 (not in 1.1b, only on the trunc)
? I'm not able to check with an older version (1.0 or 1.1) right now. But I
think it was no problem in older versions.

Confirming with Linux 2002-08-21-08 trunk.

Can't download files bigger than my disk cache setting (tried disk cache of
~15MB and ~50MB with a ~66MB file).

Changing summary

gordon is on vacation IIRC; darin, you touched the cache stuff recently, right
for gordon's patches?

Comment 7

[hanasaki]

/tmp has over 3x the space required for the ~75meg download
The lockup still occurs w/ a disk cache of 90 Meg

Comment 8

[Reiner Schug]

Same problem here on NT4.
I would prefer if the file was saved directly to the selected download location.
(Like in Opera)
If cache and download location are on different partitions it takes extra time
to copy the file (with large files).
