GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171116
simulateous downloads with same name overwrite each other
Last modified: 2010-04-03 11:14:19 UTC
Version details: 1.5.8-3 Distribution/Version: FC4T1 Two files being downloaded in parallel, with the same name, will overwrite each other. The later file will overwrite the first to finish. The "decide where to put the .1" part should come after the download is complete. Firefox does this by using a random filename until the download finishes. The file is then renamed and guaranteed unique.
Confirming. I don't think this is a common problem, however. Bug 170787 is probably going to fix this.
This is a common problem, I see this more than once a day.
This is still broken. To reproduce, open both of the urls below in a new tab or window: http://www.mozilla.sk/pub/firefox/releases/1.5b2/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-1.5b2.tar.gz http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5b2/linux-i686/el/firefox-1.5b2.tar.gz Either you will get one file, i.e. one of the two different files with the same name overwrites the other, or you will get a hanging download. What *should* happen is that the filename on disk is determined before the download begins.
Can you still reproduce this? I can't, and also this bug contradicts bug 307210.
The problem still exists. Downloading two files with the same name (in parallel) results in one file on disk. The other seems to hang in the Downloads window. Note platform.
Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/59886 "If I try and download two files with the same name from two different locations, Epiphany reports both as downloading, but only the second file appears on the desktop. (Presumably the first is downloading to a now nameless file location.) You may need to download a fairly big file to see this in action. This may seem like an edge case, but I actually discovered it trying to download the "Windows/Mac" (AVI) versions of http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9076288729387457440 and http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=959125392868390030 simultaneously: both files want to be called "RickyGervaisMicrosof.avi" Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9076288729387457440, and click the "Download" button. Epiphany will pop up the Download dialog and inform you that RickyGervaisMicrosof.avi is downloading. 2. Before the above download completes, go to http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=959125392868390030 and click the "Download" button. A separate, differently sized RickyGervaisMicrosof.avi file will appear in the Download dialog. ~/Desktop/RickyGervaisMicrosof.avi.part will now contain the contents of this second file and the first, while continuing to download, cannot be accessed via the file system."
Is this still a problem with Epiphany 2.29.x / git master?
Dear reporter, could you please answer the last question?
Hi, I've stopped using epiphany unfortunately, so don't know.
k. I'm closing this due to inactivity. If this is still an issue, please reopen.
