** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox I must say that this has been really annoying. I was downloading a large file (the Feisty ISO, but that's not relevant) when firefox crashed because one of the Flash plugin bugs. I re-opened it, restored the session and the download manager trashed the data that I had already downloaded. It was 400 MB, an hour and a half downloading... The problem is that I was getting the file from a private mirror where I have to login in order to download anything. So, when firefox re-opened and tried to continue the download, it got a webpage saying "permission - denied" and OVERWROTE the previous data, replacing it with the damn php - file. + denied" and OVERWROTE the previous data, replacing it with the php file. So, to sum up, the bug is the following: When firefox crashes, if it is trying to resume a download, don't trash the downloaded data. If it can't resume for some reason (in this case, because it got a php file instead an ISO image), tell the user what to do, or make a backup of the current data and then restart the download.
