Ok...trying this again....
(from the cvs update made 4/20)

1) Go to the above website (which has the new versions of "God defend
New Zealand" that the government are making available).
2) Try downloading the 4th version of the anthem in mp3 format.
3) Stop the download after about the 1000 Kb part.
4) Start downloading again and hit "Ok" when it asks if you want it
to replace the file.

Correct behaviour: The download occurs correctly.

Buggy Behaviour: The download "finishes" in 3 seconds and gives you
a null file.

Reduced severity to critical.  This is not a blocker because other downloads
work fine.

Bill, should this be moved up to a nsbeta2 candidate or off to M18?

[Bill Law]

I can't find the file in question (the URL takes me to a "not found" page).

I wonder if this shouldn't go to valeski because it sounds like a problem 
conversing with the server rather than a problem handling the data.  But without 
the url to the file that causes the problem, we're stuck.  I'll let this sit 
until I get to it in a week or two.  We'll leave it at M17 till then.

Does any kind of download with moz support any "resume" feature at all?
I've never seen it - all i ever achieved is that it starts downloading all over
again, from scratch. (linux)

Comment 9

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

i don't see "pause/remove" in the xp download progress dialog --which now has 
only the Cancel button.
