Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46233

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Alain Martel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.2+)

BuildID:    2001072908

When I want to save an inline attatchment from a post from a newsgroup, Mozilla
proceed to do another download of said attatchment. That new DL is useless, as
the file has been already download along the message, and only waste time/bandwidth.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go in any binaries group, display a message with a somewhat large file or
picture attatched (over 100Kb). Save that file to a local folder.


Actual Results:  Mozilla do a new download of the selected file, as shown by the
DUN activity meter. (Have only the mail-newsgroup window open, and distplay the
DUN window) If the file is large, or the net buzy/slow, it can take over 1
minute for a 150Kb file or picture.

Expected Results:  The file should get saved in less than a few second, elapsed
time could be as low az ZERO, with NO data transfert with the web.

If you use a cable modem or other fast connection, you may not notice this bug,
BUT it may make you bump your montly up/download quota causing you to needlessly
aving to pay extra.
