Has anybody else had this problem? When I try to download large files using Netscape, the download processes seems to go to sleep. The progress bar stops after a few minutes, so do the meteors and the time remaining indicator. All it takes to get it stated back up is a brush of the cursor. Sometimes I need to touch the actual download window, and sometimes I just move the mouse. It starts back up and goes for a few minutes, then it stops again. I am not sure if it is Linux setting the download to a very low priority, or something like that, or if Communicator for Linux has a problem, or some combination of the two. Any ideas?

I see the same thing. I blame Netscape, not Linux (since I never had this problem using Navigator 3, but just version 4). Does anyone have any ideas??? - mikeh

I have downloaded so40_lnx_01.tar.gz 3 times with Communicator and had no problems. This from Anchorage, Alaska also. I've used the German site always. -Dee -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Dee, This is exactly what I was doing! What version of Communicator? I'm running 4.04 Domestic Standard. I'm having lots of trouble with Star Office too, but that will be another thread. Steve W.D.McKinney wrote:
