Yes it is still a problem - but this problem maybe also apache related. I do not know if there is a way to find out the real filesize and then decide based on the environment if the download will be successful. Please check also other tools ( wget, curl, ... ) which are used for http- download.
Taking the bug...
Seems to be fixed in the upcoming firefox 3 package. It's going to be released in RHEL-4.7. Closing as NEXTRELEASE.
Just for your information : firefox 2.0 fixes the problem - but not in any case firefox caused the problem, it might be also apache or if you are behind a proxy your proxyserver might be the problem.
Aha, thanks for the info, I didn't investigate it so much. If you still have the problem after rhel-4.7 release just open the bug-report...
