Hmm, I don't think we designed an edge case for this, did we Etienne? Off top of my head, we need a prompt here that says "Cannot download. Connect to data connection, etc etc..." Or at least some sort of visual/audio feedback.

I guess I could check navigator.onLine first but I'm not sure how reliable it is...

We need a solution here. It is common for users in the target market to turn off their connections. Showing them a "downloading" indicator in these circumstances would be misleading. We need to create a failure prompt, eg: "Cannot download. Connect to data connection, etc..."

Etienne, can you confirm that we can determine connection status? 
Tim, cc'ing you for input also. I recall discussing similar issues with a few months back...

Note that bug 812584 should give us a proper download error event in this case. Would it be enough?

I would say "yes". So not blocking on this and relying on bug 812584 instead.
