Whenever I try to do a download a file (like trying to update to Firefox 2.0) I get the proper download manager screen, then I select "save to a file" and click OK.  It says the download is starting but in a few seconds I get a "network cable is unplugged" message and I am off the Internet.  I have to reboot to get back on.  Some other times a download may work, but most of the times I just get unconnected.  The reboot part is a hassle!!

Reproducible: Always

1.Try to do an upgrade to Firefox 2.0
2.Choose "save to a file" and click OK
3.It says the download is starting but in a few seconds I get a "network cable is unplugged" message and I am off the Internet.
