And when it does, I click ok and then the file, e.g. 10 mb, finishes in one second. Reproducible: Always
Do you have this on all servers or only rapidshare ? The download dialog only opens after the server responded with a response and if the initial response from the server is slow you will get such a result. what do you mean by "too long" ? That could mean anything from 1s to x minutes
on all servers...long as in the download time taken to download the same file if the dialog box opens..
I can not reproduce your issue. Do you have a slow network drive assigned to a drive letter or something like that ? Is it the same in the FIrefox safemode ? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
it is the same in safe mode. take for example a file i am going to download from rapidshare is 10mb. when the countdown is completed and the download button appears, i click the download button. then it says "waiting for rsxx.rapidshare.com" and takes the same amount of time for me to download the file if the dialog appears and i click ok.
btw, i have the following addons download statusbar downthemall java quick starter kaspersky url advisor microsoft .net framework advisor orbit downloader firefox integration
We need numbers, how long does it take in seconds from clicking the link until the download dialog appears ? Why are you sure that this is a browser issue and not a server issue ? Is it faster with other browsers ? Do you use a free rapidshare account or a premium one and what is your internet connection ?
i think i know what might be the problem. i had reinstalled firefox and the download dialog box reappears. but when i cancelled one of my ongoing rapidshare downloads, the problems starts again.
Version: unspecified → 3.5 Branch
i am having a 1mb/s line. if a file is of about 10 mb, it will normally take me 10 seconds for me to download it from a free user at rapidshare. that 10 seconds is the time taken for the download dialog to appear. if the file is 90 mb, the download dialog takes about a minute plus to open which is equivalent to the time taken for me to donwnload the entire file....
It happens to me as well, download dialog box didn't appear until file download finish. Sometimes flv video didn't play until the whole flv finish to be downloaded.
And yup, the "waiting for download.server.example.com" is the one that keep showing in the status bar while it seems to be downloading on the background. Not "Transferring from download.server.example.com".
note: seems like the issue came from the operating system/ software installed. Happening in other browser as well.
