    Anyone on here had a problem where you are downloading something and then even though it is not finished, it says that the download is done? This happened to my with antivir which is a 21 mb download but mine said finished at 3 mb and with 3dmark06 which ended early as well and I had to redownload it :mad: Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    That happens to me too when I have a slow connection. Try use Getright next time so you can resume downloading even if your connection gets interrupted.

    Use DownThemAll extension to take care of your FF downloads. :)

    Starting with Firefox 3, FF scans downloads with your AV. See here for how to disable it.

    Yep I second DownThemAll, it's pretty good, plus it's a plug-in, not a full separated software. :)
