When you try to download the file
(ftp://www.gamezone.cz/ofpd/unofaddons/MTY4_MiniGun_R.zip) you get an error
message saying that the source can't be read. This will occur 1-2 times if you
try again and after that Mozilla simply won't start to download the files and
furthermore the download manager now has 2 blank entries which you can't remove.
This happens with most of the files on this site, nowhere else. Downloading them
in IE or Getright though works fine. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to download the file
(ftp://www.gamezone.cz/ofpd/unofaddons/MTY4_MiniGun_R.zip)
2.Now you'll get an error message
3.

Actual Results:  
Got an eror message

Expected Results:  
Started to download the file

I've switched from mozilla 1.1 to 1.2 and now i can't download files anymore
PLEASE HELP!!

Always the same message "can't save because the source files can't be read",
pointing to a cryptic file stored in temp folder..

This is a critical issue in my humble opinion that makes 1.2 unusable, but
pheraps it's something wrong in settings, i dunno..
I've been experiencing this for a couple months.  I can't download files in
mozilla.  It's pretty embarrassing to have to start up IE all the time.

The source file really does exist, mozilla just seems to have lost track of it.
I'm getting the same problem on any number of sites.
I'm getting the same problem on any number of sites.
I can't download anything using 1.2b on Win98 SE.  This extends to saving images
that are already loaded, and saving web pages.  Sometimes this gives an error,
but generally it just fails silently.  Nothing changes whatever the Download
settings are (Open dialog or Open manager).

And just to finish off, I can't open the Download manager from the Tools menu. 
Do I win?
This seems to be the same as this bug:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172215
I believe this bug differs from bug 172215. This one is Windows-specific and
related to valid links, while bug 172215 is os-independent and deals with links
to non-existing files.
