the way i work around this is when the file is done i rename the file before clicking stop and it has been working for me Jerry L Kreps wrote:

I've discovered a bit of misbehavior in Netscape 4.72 (probably in other versions also) that can cause a lot of futile downloads. I encountered it while picking up the various SuSE rpm's for Xfree 4.0.
It seems that if you have a download in progress, Netscape is quite happy to let you start a second one. The first one will complete normally. But when the second one is done, the window won't go away even though it indicates that the download is 100% completed. The only way to make the window go away is to click on Stop. But when you do that, the file you so laboriously downloaded is deleted.
Fortunately I also happened on a workaround. If you've downloaded foo.rpm and lost it because of Netscape's boorishness, download it again to the same location. The download will be almost instantaneous and the file will come back. Of course, you can only do this while no other download is in progress.
Has anyone else encountered this misbehavior?

I've encountered the exact same thing. I've started three downloads and had to make a repeat of the one that finished last.
It gives me an appreciation of the drag and drop feature of kfm, which is also about 3 times faster than Netscape in downloading. JLK
