Important:
I have had this problem with a previous nightly build (about 3 weeks ago?)
10-14 I downloaded (by using Explorer) this version: Mozilla 1.2b 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021014 and it
still would not function.

Today i downed (by using Explorer again) Gecko/20021016 and it didn't download
either.

Then I re-installed an older version (1.2a) and it worked again.
I UNinstalled 1.2a and REinstalled 20021016 and it decided not to function anymore.

So that is the reason installing 20021014 again, also because of 1.2a has a few
buggy things for viewing certain types of webpages.

I have searched in the bugzilla dbase, but could not find symilar problems (one
appearing more or less the same in an apple-enviroment: bug: 155426 and a lot of
other new bug-entries about the downloadm. so thats why severity set on Major)

btw, no log files are produced about the problem, because of there is no crash
or whatsoever!
