(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Mike Rogers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

While downloading a file using a dial-up connection, if the connection closes for any reason, the downloading file immediately goes to a status of complete and a file is created with whatever was downloaded so far.

It would be better if the DM knew enough to pause here and wait for a connection to be reestablished. This way you don't have to start the download over.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Connect via dial-up
2.Start downloading a file. 
3.When file is about 1/2 done, disconnect dialer 

Actual Results:  
The half completed file was placed in the download folder as if it were the completed file.

Expected Results:  
It should have paused waiting until you reconnected to the internet.
