My apologies; I've also been informed by jens that the bug is related to
where the file has been downloaded *locally*. Sorry, never paid much
attention to that "feature" as I set downloads to go to only one folder
& can find the file by a search if I'm not paying attention and it goes
astray.

Is this "feature" really such a deal breaker for you for moving on to
2.0? I mean, it seems pretty simple/logical to create a 'download'
folder and then set Edit|Preferences|Browser|Downloads|When saving a
file: Save files to... or keep the 'Always ask me where to save files'
default.

I'd have to vote for 'WONTFIX' as it seems to me that the "feature" just
adds unecessary bloat (clutter?) to the interface. Now something
_useful_ like allowing a setting to limit the download bandwidth I'd
vote for[1].

[1] Currently there is not ability to limit the bandwidth of the
download manager in SM. The result is that it tends to suck up any and
all available bandwidth on the download. This can be a pretty serious
issue on a network where bandwidth is limited, particularly where
multiple SM's are downloading and fighting for bandwidth.
