Build# 10-27-99 Steps to reproduce: Go to http://cf.centerpointe.com/discussion/forum_search/forum_results.cfm Results: Browser responsiveness as well as speed of downloading (or just updating UI -- it's hard to be sure) becomes so bad that it can be considered dead, for all practical intents and purposes. Once download is complete, UI responsiveness becomes usual, which, BTW, is not terribly good. Clicking on Stop button only disables the button, but the downloading continues. The whole system is put on its knees. IE and NN 4.7 handle the page fine.

Guess how long it took to download that file. 1096 sec (over 18 min.) from the net, and 391 sec (6.5 min) from a local file (I used the viewer). For some reason it needed to connect to the server again to display page source. However, with 10-29-99 build it took only ( :-) ) 436 sec (~ 7 min) from the net and 555 sec (9 min) from local file (this time I used the browser for both tasks). It's a pretty big file for a html file (529 K), but still it shouldn't take 18 minutes to download! If the site changes, let me know and I will attach my local copy.

r_roman@usa.net - this bug is marked HP for platform with Win NT. Are you using HP/UX? OR an HP piece of Hardware with the NT OS? If your using Windows, the platform shouldbe set to PC. tever, can you try loading this URL on your Win system. Let us know what happens with latest build. Thanks!

Jan, Seeing the same thing happening on Win NT and Linux. This is looking alot like bug 17692 and 6101.

I am using "HP piece of Hardware with the NT OS". Changed platform field to PC. Tever's right, this is very similar to bugs 17692 and 6101. Just tried to download a page from the site above. The site has changed a little so the file (actually all files including images on the page) to be downloaded is now 208 K -- less than half the size I originally reported. It's been almost 30 min. since I started the test, and it still is going on. UI seems to have stopped to respond at all. Somewhere in the beginning of the download the status bar displayed "Done", but the downloading didn't complete. While you're at it, why not make the browser stop current download when a link is clicked. It doesn't react to link clicks until a page is completely downloaded -- bad.

P.S. Finally the download is over. I didn't think I'd still be at work. It took 2948 sec (~49 min). The build used: 11-08-99.

looks like a dup to me... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 11702 ***
