[Bug 444732] [NEW] Thunderbird doesn't complete downloading attachments if interrupted by another download request

[Derek Kaye]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 on Jaunty

I was downloading many (I think about 8-10) attachments from a message
in Thunderbird manually by right-clicking, save as, because the save all
button was broken (Bug #303140).

I was going through it rather quickly - right click, save, right click,
save etc, and expected a queue of message downloads to start (or perhaps
them all to come at once).

What actually happened was several partial downloads. From what I can
guess, as soon as I told it where to save the next attachment, the
previous one was interrupted, and left unfinished.

This was on an IMAPS inbox to googlemail servers.
