276173 - unfinished optional downloads: DM bar fills, "00:00 remain", but no file

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[tlroche]

I'm using Firebird 1.0 final on winxp, and I have my download file
location set (to d:\temp, on a volume with vast amounts of free
space). I regularly (but not always) observe the following (esp, IIRC,
with PDFs > 1 MB):

I click on a link to a file of a type which I have set to download,
e.g. PDF. Download Manager pops up and begins to download. The
progress bar fills, and adjacent text claims "<size> of <size> at
<rate>; 00:00 remain", but (see [d:\temp\allButFinishedDM.jpg])

* the progress bar remains in place: it is not replaced with "Done"

* adjacent links remain "Cancel" and "Pause", not "Open" and "Remove"

* the file is not found in the target dir (d:\temp)

OTOH IIRC I never have this problem with files which non-optionally
download, e.g. EXEs.

However I get the same behavior with "normal" PDFs. E.g. if I follow
the link

http://bill.dudney.net/roller/resources/bill/jsfwithmyfaces.pdf

I get [d:\temp\allButFinishedDM2.jpg] and no download, but I can
open (Cygwin) bash and do

> bash-2.05b$ wget -O /d/download/JSFwithMyFaces.pdf
