Description Jacques L. 2007-02-21 14:55:36 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When using the "Download link" function of epiphany (ie file is downloaded to a place defined in preferencies (default : Desktop)), the download is incomplete under certain conditions.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click on some random web page on a dowload link, a popup appears with multiple choices;
2. select "Open file", a window with the download's progress appears;
3. realize you'd rather also save the file, so cancel the dowload, right click on the link and select "Dowload link".


Actual results:
The download progress window appears for a very short time, the dowload looks finished.
Upon closer inspection, only the part of the file which already was in the browser's cache when selecting "Download link" has been saved.

Expected results:
Obviously, I'd like the dowload to resume and not just give me the part of the file which had been dowloaded earlier.

Does this happen every time?
yep 

Other information:
A workarround for this bug is to select the "Save link as ..." function, which works as expected, rather than "Download link".

You can also encounter this bug when clicking on a link to a video, which would be opened using totem's browser plugin (or any other video plugin you have installed), clicking on back because you don't just want to watch that video but also save it, then right clicking on link and selecting "Dowload link". The bug appears each time only a part of a file is in the browser's cache.

Also, I am using ubuntu edgy's version.
