I doubt very much that this is the case. If I do the test with
Eicar.com, NOD32 stops me from downloading right away but eicar.com
is a tiny file that's downloaded in an instant anyway.

I therefore tried this with a larger infected file and the alert
does appear after the file is downloaded and is being saved to disk.

I doubt that DrWeb works any differently.
