I changed some USE flags. I figure that is one thing that would make Firefox different from say the average user who just downloads Firefox from the website. I'm not sure my googling skills are correct but I don't see anyone else having this issue, if I'm looking for the right things. This is the current flag settings.

I used the info from euse -i to try to pick ones that might affect this. Thing is, it just did it again a minute ago with two files. That is another thing that is odd, when it does it, it does it a good bit until it stops. It may affect several downloads before I can get it working again. Then it works again for a good while. I might add, pausing and resuming made it work, this time. Thing is, the next download may or may not work right. I won't know until I start another set. This is a interesting issue. I'm not sure what to do to narrow it down really. Trying these USE flags is all I can come up with. It seems like others are stumped as well. :/ Dale :-) :-)
