205516 - download manager never finishes some files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 203053

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Miso Korkiakoski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030425 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030425 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Using the latest Firebird nightly (11-5-2003), and trying to download files from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2003-05-08-trunk/ stops at 99%.
The download starts ok, but on some files(!) it stops at 99%. Also all browser
activity stops, the mouse wheel doesn't work and links won't work. To use the
browser again I have to shut it down and kill the process. The process doesn't
use much processor time or memory, but without killing it the profile can't be used.

The weird thing is that from the same ftp I can successfully download the
phoenix builds. The same problem happened to me with a few of the previous
builds, but never with Linux builds that I've used (0.4->)

The files that produce this error may vary, but the thunderbird nightlies always
do this to me. Some other files that I've come across exist, but at the moment I
don't remember any links.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/2003-05-08-trunk/
2. Start the download of either of the files
3. Check if it downloads to 100%

Actual Results:  
The download stopped at 99% (the actual Kb downloaded varies a bit, but it stops
20-50 Kb before the end)

Expected Results:  
Gone to 100% and closed the download dialog.

Just the basic build extracted to a folder and run from a shortcut.
