FF downloaded the entire file, and only told me it couldn't save it, after the file had been downloaded. So I chmod-ed the directory and clicked Retry, after which it downloaded the entire file again. To me it seems, the file was still somewhere (probably /tmp), and could just have been copied across, without the need to download a second time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download file, into a directory without permission to write 2. get error from FF that it cannot be written there 3. update directory to have correct permissions 4. click Retry in the DL manager Actual Results: file is downloaded again Expected Results: I expected the downloaded file to be available locally, and being copied into the download folder. using FC6, and therefore only FF1.5, so if this is something that's been dealt with in 2.0 just close.

We should fix this on trunk. It won't be too difficult to do.
