211785 - Suddenly, Mozilla will stop downloading files properly. Same files download in IE, and will download in Mozilla if reinstalled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 203689

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Linda Dunn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Mozilla works fine for a day or so, then whenever I try to download a file, it 
gives me a message that says "<path to temp, then crazy filename> could not be 
saved, because the source file could not be read. Check with systems admin," 
etc. This has happened, for instance, trying to download the Flash plugin from 
the Macromedia site. I can immediately go over and download it with IE, and if 
I reinstall Mozilla, it works properly. Right-clicking at least brings up the 
correct filename and makes it look as though I am downloading, but the file 
neer appears. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.(This is once the program has started acting this way)
2.Click on the file to download.
3.Watch the error message tell you that the source is corrupted, try again 
later.
4. Right click and save link target as...
5. Dialogue box comes up, asking where you want to save file, but then nothing 
else happens.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
It should download files properly.

I'm not using any external themes, and have Mozilla installed as Browser only.
