298096 - Paused download closes when other download completes

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When performing multiple downloads, a paused download is closed (and download
manager may close if all other downloads are complete) when another of the
multiple downloads completes. This loses the paused download (which can then
only be restarted from the beginning).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start four multiple downloads (all around 200MB).
2. Pause one of the downloads (when another download is about 99% completed).
3. Let 99% completed download completes.

Actual Results:  
Paused download is shown as completed and removed from queue, although it has
not completed in fact. (This is all on Easynews.com using the zip manager)

Expected Results:  
Left paused download on pause until resume selected or PC shut down. Would also
be most helpful if partial downloads are resumed rather than offering to
overwrite the original file, but I suspect this is in category of 'feature'
rather than 'bug'.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
