Are you just clicking on the links for the files?  If so, this bug is INVALID.  If you are right-clicking, and going to save as, it's a legit bug.

If click directly on the links, the results same as in description

If right-click on the links and save it, the queued files show up in the DM with "Starting ..." instead of "Waiting to start ..." underneath their progress meter

I've duplicated the same behavior in comment #2 on Linux and Windows XP (Gecko/2008022204 Minefield/3.0b4pre).

In more detail, just clicking the link gives me a wait-loading cursor.  Canceling an item from the DM will then start the download.

INVALID per comment 1.  We can't open any more http connections, so nothing is going to show up in the UI.  Save As doesn't actually open any http connection right away.
