Tom AZ Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Over the last few days I've started to experience some trouble downloading files in Firefox (2.0.0.16). Generally, the download starts and runs for a few seconds -- then just stalls. Any thoughts or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Under Tools - Options - Main tab, try setting the downloads to be saved to desktop. Mozilla Article Hang downloading files This applies to Firefox 2 and below. As the download history grows, files may take longer to download and Firefox may appear to hang when downloading. In the Firefox menu, click "Tools -> Downloads -> Clean Up" to clear the Download History. If this doesn't help or if it also causes a hang, exit Firefox completely and delete the downloads.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder [6]. Selecting a different download folder in your Firefox Options may also help. See Unable to save or download files for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
