Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 237623

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Shalahyah]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I can  have the downloader start downloading a file. When I want to go to
another webpage, I will click on the downloader properties for the file that is
being downloaded, and click on pause, so that the webpage will come up faster.
Then I proceed to have the downloader to start downloading another file. The
downloader will start downloading that file ok, and will continue to download
that file without a corruption.
Now if I pause the downloading of that file also, inorder to surf faster to the
next page, and then I have the downloader to start another file download, it
also starts downloading ok. Then I decide that I want to have the other two
files that are paused, to resume downloading. Therefore I click on the resume
botton to resume the downloading of those files.
As soon as I do that, those files that were held in a paused state for about 10
minutes will be downloaded in a corrupted state almost immediately.
The downloader will show as if the files have been completely downloaded 100%.
When you get ready to install the programs, you will find out that they are
corrupted.
I will have to restart the downloading of that file and let it be completely
downloaded unpaused before I can receive it uncorrupted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have the downloader start downloading a file.
2. Pause the downloading of that same file.
3. Have the downloader to start downloading another file while the first file is
still paused.
4. Pause the second file download. Now you have paused two files for downloading.
5. Have the downloader to start downloading a third file.
6. Now that about 10 minutes have go by, and the other two files are still
paused, resume their downloading.
7. Watch what the downloader does to those files that have been resumed.
8. The downloader will quickly download  those two files  that were paused, as
if you were on a high speed server.
9. Now, install the programs. You will find out that they are corrupted.
Actual Results:  
The files that had been paused for about 10 minutes and then resumed for
downloading, will be corrupted. You will not be able to install those programs
because the files are corrupted.

Expected Results:  
I expected to be able to pause any file that is being downloaded, and then 10
minutes or 30 minutes later resume those files so that they will be completetly
downloaded at the proper time with out any corruption.
Then be able to install those programs corruption free.
