BTW, as any other browser (well, new enough..), firefox starts |
| 13 |
downloading as soon as you click on a link (ie, it dowloads it while you |
| 14 |
are choosing where to save it, so that by the time you choose the |
| 15 |
dir/filename, smaller files are allready downloaded ;). |
| 16 |
You can easilly see this if you have some kind of network traffic monitoring |
| 17 |
widget/applet/app... |
| 18 |
I guess it starts to download it to a temp file, than moves it to the |
| 19 |
file you choose (never looked into it)... so the problem would be most |
| 20 |
likely in that operation.. |
