But I don't know python Disabling thumbnails and no more hangs.Though disabling it was a little buggy. I went into preferences and disabled thumbnails. closed preferences and started a download, thumbnails where still created for each file as it was downloaded. And hang on the same places. I restarted rapid and started the same download. Still thumbnails. Went into preferences, confirmed that yes thumbnails is not selected. restarted rapid. started a download, and now suddenly thumbnails was not created as it progressed in the download, and it did not stop on the troubling files anymore.
