I was unable to find an episode 28.

I downloaded episode 23 from
http://files.redvsblue.com/2x23_/RvB_Episode23_LoRes.mov

without problems.

This works for me too.

Reporter, are you sure you're not just having connectivity issues between you
and the site in question? Does downloading work well for you everwhere else?

I've not been able to reproduce this in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040310 Firefox/0.8.0+ either. It really does sound like
a connection issue you're having to the server.

Please keep on trying this with a new build:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

If you still have problems, then let us know and reopen the bug, but for now,
I'm marking as WORKSFORME.

no, you guys are all right - I had problems like this with multiple downloads 
and that file was the only one I could reproduce it with for a couple of days -
 the only thing that makes me think it wasn't a connection problem was because 
I could open up internet explorer and get the download completed just fine - I 
think it was an issue with the download manager that just resolved itself with 
me, I guess.
