Remember back when we had a big discussion about dmg data "loading"
into the browser window instead of being treated as a file? Without
re-iterating all that discussion, I recall that a special case was
built into Camino. Since that time, it functioned properly.
Well, I just did a major OS upgrade from Jaguar to Tiger 4.3. While
everything seems fine, we have a major problem here. Not only does
the it revert to the "bad" behavior, but it's way worse. While data
is filling the browser window, Camino sports the spinning
multi-colored wheel. Meaning the browser is essentially dead to the
world until the d/l is finished. Even worse, it seems that the
"progress" is excruciatingly slow. I just got a 2.3MB dmg that took
about 20-30 minutes (I'm on a 5Mb/s broadband connection).
A good part of the problem is that one rarely finds an "in the clear"
link, so no possibility of doing an "option-click" to d/l as a file
(i.e. versiontracker and macgamefiles each predsent sopme php to the
user; thus a process on their server re-directs to the actual file).
Anyone? This is a major problem...
