I have a project that uses libURL to download files from a server.
One tester using OS X reports that if Mail.app is open and

Apparently Mail.app doesn't play well with others, or else the Rev
engine or libURL has a glitch.
I just thought I'd mention this as a datapoint in case others
experience the same thing. If anyone knows of a workaround, that'd
be great too. Right now my app just reports a failure and stops
downloading, but that's about all it can do.
Jacque,
What error does libURL report? Can you get around this by trying to
download the url that caused the error again (trying a max of 3 times
or so)? I ask because I have download over 1,000 files consecutively
on an OS X machine with Mail running and I didn't notice any
problems. I use
load URL "myURL" with message "downloadComplete"
and check for errors in downloadComplete. If a timeout (param 2 is
"timeout") or an error occurred (param 2 is "error") and
libURLErrorData() reports "socket closed before end of file", "error
socket is open" or just "error" then I try to download the URL a max
of 3 times. I've had excellent results with this method on both OS X
and Windows.
