Sounds like an old Linux bug, but since you're on windows, and it was fixed in 1.5.0.1, it can't be that :)

Does it happen for all files? Is your download list empty? Are you saving to a network drive or anything?

It happens for all files, I'm storing locally.
But now that you mention it, the download list was very long. I cleared it and now it shows immediatly. Never thought about that.
Though still somehow annoying it takes so long to build that list. :)
