When attempting to download a file (DMG) of 282 MB in size to a Mac OSX 10.5 system, the download always stops when progress gets to 256 MB. The error dialog displayed says:

=

Download Error

<path>/netbeans-6.9.1-ml-macosx.dmg.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

=

The "part" file is always exactly 268434369 bytes in length.

I am able to download the file successfully using Safari, so I do not believe this is an OSX-specific issue.

Hi, everyone!

I found a solution disabling all my addons. I suspected that because a had installed a lot of them. But I don't know exactly by now which one of them is to be blame. I don't have time to find it now.

The addons I installed are these above. If you have one or many of then maybe it could be esier to find out the guilty. So, please, reply if you find out the problematic addon. Thanks!

CSS Usage DownloadHelper Firecookie Gresemonkey JSONView User Agent Switcher Web Developer YSlow

P.S. I use Firefox 7, runing on Linux Fedora 15 64bit.
