The default download manager in Firefox started showing a strange behavior today: any file I try to download (either in the default \download folder or in a folder chosen by me) is actually downloaded by the browser but the download status bar of the file always shows an "unknown remaining time" message while being fully green (https://www.dropbox.com/s/n891ya38ifm83c3/Cattura%20di%20schermata%20%284%29.png?dl=0).

The real problem is when I download files like .torrent that as soon as are downloaded need the torrent client to start (torrent client that doesn't start because for firefox the .torrent download is never completed).

I tried disabling the antivirus (bitdefender) but the problem persisted. In Chrome downloads work fine (also with antivirus enabled).

This is as of the 32.0b9 and it has been fixed and will be in the next 32.0 build, likely the 32.0 RC1 build though normally such a fix would be a Beta build like 32.0b10. The Release is next Tuesday so little time. In about:config you can try modify the value for browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL to be blank in meantime.

Hi to All. Note the resume of dowloads each time that FF is restarted and that is not possible to cancel them:you can only do a pause. This problem also exists in v32.0b8. Awaiting the next beta, I have installed v31 over v32.0b9. Thanks for your attention.
