176972 - Macromedia Flash 6 - will not download setup file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 171441

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[John Marino]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

Macromedia flash 6 was not installed, so the Mozilla said get the plugin at
"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash?application/x-shockwave-flash&P5_Language=English"
which took me directly to the download page.  When I clicked on the icon that
says "DOWNLOAD NOW", I got the following pop-up notification:
"C:\WIN98\TEMP\8nph7c8r.exe could not be saved because the source file could not
be read.  Try again later, or contact the server administrator. [OK]".

The file name is random, but the message is repeatable indefinitely.  Finally, I
went to Internet explorer, navigated over to "other downloads" to get the
netscape-compatible one which is the same file as above, and it downloaded just
fine.  So it seems to be a Mozilla-specific problem, not with the Macromedia
website.

I apologize if this is a duplicate, I did a quick search and did not see this
one reported.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL
2. Click on "Download Now" icon
3.
Actual Results:  
pop-up message: "C:\WIN98\TEMP\8nph7c8r.exe could not be saved because the
source file could not be read.  Try again later, or contact the server
administrator. [OK]".  File could not be downloaded.

Expected Results:  
Download the file.
