I've been trying to download the installer file for Flash Player

cancelled. I select the small retry button (the button with the
circular arrow). I see that something appears to download, but when I
go to the destination folder, the file has 0 size.
I've tried this with other installer executables. I get the same result
with them. I've also tried using Save Link Target As (which is not
available for Flash Player) and get the same result.
I've tried this with non-executable files, and have no problems with
them. It appears that SeaMonkey or the Download Manager is blocking
files with the .exe file-extension.
Trying all this while running SeaMonkey in safe mode does not help.
Is this a known bug?

David, it looks to me like an Anti-virus/Firewall may be blocking the
download of .exe files. Try changing the extension to something benign
like .der and then change it back after the file downloads.
Once you change the extension back to .exe it should install with no
problems.

Also try emptying your temp folders, restarting Windows and try again.
