When finished downloading a file (eg form FTP site [same with HTTP however])
Firefox does not change its state to downloaded (show "open" button in download
manager), but drops speed to 0 KBps, time left to 00:00 and stops. However, when
I press cancel and retry, the second attempt always works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Windows XP sp2

Not sure if the problem persists on other systems, howecer please check for
potential errors in Download manager code, especially when it renames temp file
to its real name.

I can confirm that this occurs on my system as well.

 When attempting to download a file download manager downloads the entire file
but does not confirm the download is complete.  Manually removing '.part' from
the file allows the file to run.

 I can also retry the download (which works fine).

 Windows XP SP1

 I would also recommend *.*.part > *.* processes be checked.

I have the same problem running FireFox on Gentoo Linux and KDE.  I cannot
locate the .part file anywhere - no chance to rename the file as suggested
above.  The file does not exist anywhere visible (should be downloaded to desktop).

This problem does not occur all the time, but happens more often with large
files than with small ones.  At one point I tried to cancel and restart the
download and it worked properly, but even that does not work now.

Does this still occur with a recent release (2.0.0.3) or using a nightly test build (http://mozilla.org/developer)? If not, please close as WORKSFORME.

Closing incomplete for missing information (see #3). If this still happens to you on a recent release, please reopen the bug with any additional details you can provide - see http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bug_writing_guidelines for more on what's needed in a good bug report.
