I was downloading a few files and cruising the net at the same time. As i waited
for the site to load i watched my download manager. It stopped with 1 minute
left on a file. And stayed there. I figured that my internet had just
slowed/dropped out, but the site i was visiting was asking me to store a cookie.
I switched back to my download manager - no progress. I blocked the cookie and
looked at my downlaod manager - it began again.

I'm not 100% sure that the cookie manager pauses the download manager, but it
may be a problem to people who don't realise that their downlaod has been
paused. I'm pretty sure it's not intended to happen either.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start downloaing a file
2. Try to visit a website which askes you to store cookies
3. Watch your download manager as you visit the site, and after you handle the
cookie.



Expected Results:  
Download should have continued through the cookie acceptance question screen.
