Maybe a duplicate of bug 250347 (see bug 250347 comment 14).

this is dup of neither of these bugs. as the screenshot shows, only one file is
downloading (so not bug 250347), and it's a pdf file, so not bug 228968 either.

This is bug 250347. Its summary could be misleading I suppose (note the
"usually"). It seems to be caused by small files or repeated downloads of the
same file.

if you insist, but I still think that there are two issues:
- small files
- two files being downloaded at the same time to the same destination
