I'm using firefox running with fedora core 3 (i386 platform). 
Here's an excerpt from rpm.
Name        : firefox                      Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 0.10.1                            Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.

Summary     : Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
Description :
Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards
compliance, performance and portability.

I chose to download a file from sourceforge (mirror x)
eg
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.4.2.4-1.i386.rpm?use_mirror=optusnet

and then later decided to download an edition-copy of this file from another
mirror.(mirror y)

The issue was that downloading was triggered from mirror-y and, what seems to
appear, mirror-x downloading progress status in the downloading manager seemed
to have disappeared. When downloading from mirror-y was seemingly complete, it
just stalled- that is the progress bar was left hanging at 100% and the
label_item "Cancel" remained rather than "Done". The file wasn't saved on the
drive either..



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file from the internet.
2. While this file is downloading, download another edition-copy of this file
from another url. (same filename)
3. May Preferences settings have an effect? I have set for "Downloads" - Save
All to Desktop folder, and not the prompt of ask..
(Perhaps an additional setting switch for 'Treat-downloads' automagically with
auto file-renaming (eg:filename.gz, filename.gz_0) or an Prompt me for same
filename to rename?)


Actual Results:  
See details

Expected Results:  
Prompt for another filename if another file is downloading the same directory
location despite Preference settings of saving all to Desktop; or have the
program popup a box mentioning an automagic renaming for preventing file
overwriting in this case.
