User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When there's not enough disk space left for downloading a large file,
the download window shows that the download begins normally,
then suddenly stops (because the target partition is full),
without reporting a single error message...
It's like Firefox would be waiting for the server to answer the request....

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox remains functional,
except that the download manager shows a partial download,
and stays that way...

Expected Results:  
there should have been a warning message
saying that there's not enough disk space on the target partition

Partitionning:
c:\ Windows 2000
d:\ Applications (Firefox, ....)
e:\ Downloads
f:\ Files
