Firefox/24.0 SeaMonkey/2.21; been a Moz/SM user since Moz v1.x
Just upgraded to SM2.21, and used Add-ons Mgr to check for versions of
plugins, etc. Several plugins req'd updates as well, and that's when I
observed strange behavior with Download Mgr.
Clicked the red 'Update' button for each update req'd (Adobe Rdr,
Shockwave and Flash; JRE) one at a time, knowing I'd get files
downloaded which would require running individually. Each download
failed the first time from the respective source web page link, then
worked flawlessly when I either re-clicked the 'Update' again, or used
the 'Retry' icon in the DM status window.
I also had the same behavior with a download from a genealogy tool's
website, when I bought a major version upgrade. Their link opened SM's
Download Mgr, and it failed first time, too. Again, retrying the
download without closing/reopening windows worked fine. And this one
was after updating the SM plugins and re-starting the browser.
In each case, the download appears to run right to the end, then fails.
I've got a 50Mbps down/13Mbps up pipe so bandwidth is NOT an issue.
I have since restarted the browser at least twice since then (not
counting the overnight shutdown), and I've just verified it still does
this by going to the Adobe site to re-pull the updates I installed last
night. Adobe Rdr failed, then worked. Surprisingly, the other 2 update
installers (Shockwave & Flash) worked first time. Maybe it's the first
download from an individual web domain (adobe.com, in this case)?
During yesterday's discovery of this issue, I was closing the source web
page after each download, but not tonight.
Ran a quick bugzilla search, came up dry. Any ideas?
