It happens to me when downloading a file from Firefox passed onto a line
command downloader.


The problem 
is not with Firefox or the downloader but as I recall with tumbler daemon, 
tumblerd if I recall, whose job it is to create images to downloaded files. 


Steps to reproduce
-Download media files and you have a case where the daemon is constantly 
recreating the image to the file because it thinks the growing file is a new 
file and in need of a new image, constantly. This takes up about 100 of cpu and 
has been a problem for some years now. 
-And no it cr@ps out instead of almost freezing the desktop. And improvement, I 
wold say.

tumblerd needs to be rethought.


Work-around
Close the file browser, that is presumably opened to the folder where the media 
file is being downloaded to.
