Upon running , only half the clip was playable. Happens mostly with .zip and .rar archives. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download any file, preferably of zip type which is over 10 MBs 2.Problem appears mostly on slow connections under 100 kb/ps 3.After the file download is halfway done , the download will exit and Mozilla will report of having downloaded all files succesfully Actual Results: The file downloads partially and is worthless. Expected Results: The file should have downloaded fully.
You're using an extension to download, right? Are you using Video DownloadHelper, or another one, if so? You should be aware of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discussions/?AddOnID=3006, if you are.
