There is no option for canceling the downloads which have started automatically
after cancelling them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a download by clicking on a link, say
http://download.com.com/redir?pid=855497&merid=50536&mfgid=50536&edId=3&siteId=4&oId=3002-20-855497&ontId=20&ltype=dl_dlnow&lop=link&destUrl=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.sunsite.org.uk%2FMirrors%2Fftp.gamesdomain.co.uk%2Fpub%2Fshareware%2Farcade%2Fdoom95.zip
and save it in a directory.
2. Before the above download finishes, again click on the same link and save it
another directory.
>> The above downloads will start going up and down in their download status
until one of them is completed.
4. Cancel one of the downloads.
>> The download will automatically restart itself (it will not be cancelled)
5. Try to cancel that download again.

Actual Results:  
There is no option for cancelling that download again.

Expected Results:  
The shoftware should not allow the downloads to restart themselves and always
allow an option (failsafe) to cancel a download.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
