User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

I get the following (kind) of error when starting A download:

c:\windows\temp\1174f1jl.zip could not be saced, because teh source file could
not be read. Try again later, or contact the Server Administrator.

This happens immediatly when I click on a link to download, and also happens
EVERY single time.
I tried downloading via IE, and that worked, so it's not a specific problem with
the sites or my ISP.

I also tried re-installing Mozilla, also deleting the application data from
c:\windows\application data.

But that didn't solve the problem either...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a site where you can download something
2.Click on the download link
3.look at the error
Actual Results:  
I got the error, click ok, and it still doesn't download

Expected Results:  
Started download of that file.

The Download Tool won't start either anymore
