Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010521
BuildID:    2001052115

RedHat 7.1 fresh install.  Ancient K6 266.
Attempting to download samba mozilla freezes about 87% (4 tries 88% 85% 84% 88%)
through.
File donloads fine on Win 2000 {2001052104}.  File download fine with
Netscape 4.76.  Ftp downloads with Mozilla seem to work OK.
Mozilla is using ~98% cpu, everything that isnt being used by anyone else.
The same thing happens attempting to download the mozilla-win32-talkback.zip
about 54% through.  Mozilla dies cleanly
when killed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://us1.samba.org/samba/samba.html
2. Try to download the gzipped source.
3. Wait.  Build Pyramids.  Watch Rome fall.  Give up.
This is happening to me too.  My download always fails around 4900K for most
files I download.  I also found that it only fails when you specify http:// as
the protocol.  For example with the nightly mozilla if you put in
ftp://path.to.mozilla it works, but if you put in http://path.to.mozilla it
crashes.  Hope that helps.
See Bug 80890 for the discussion on cache settings.  I guess the disk-cache
full/overflow is the reason for crash
One more pointer... Bug 81907.
It appears to work now in 2001052121.
Presumably the fix for Bug 81799 did it.
Thanks!
