Whenever I try to download anything with this version of Mozilla, I get a pop-up
window that says that the file could not be downloaded (into for example
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\nkm2msx9.zip"), pleas
contact server administrator.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new window/tab
2. Paste the following url into the URL window -
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/phoenix/releases/0.4/phoenix-0.4-win32.zip
3. Hit enter/return

Actual Results:  
A window pops up with the following title:
Downloading C:\Docume~1\ssingh\Locals~1\Temp\vbad5azn.zip
with the message:
C:\Docume~1\ssingh\Locals~1\Temp\vbad5azn.zip could not be saved because the
source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator


Expected Results:  
Download should happen successfully.

how about this :
a) reading the release notes 
b) read the bug filing page with the little iframe (the same that you get if you
open QA/frequently reported bugs)
c) search before you file a bug
d) avoid installing over an older build.
