I have to say I have noticed the phenomenom of moving the mouse around
to restart downloads whether websites or files. At first I thought it 
to be coincidence but playing with it showed otherwise. It works best
if you go over the menu icons, and the reload button works the best for
this. MyYahoo stalls out a lot for me, and this is the best way for me
to either get it going again or keep it going.
