since recently my download managers ,both in firefox and ie freeze after downloading a certain portion of the file ( say 26 % ) , then the downloading freezes and doesn’t move ahead . i checked for viruses using a regularly updated version of norton anti-virus and for spyware with ad-aware se . but that hasn’t solved the problem .
the downloads in bitcomet work well. also i have cleaned up everything in the downloads list. please can someone help me with this problem

Tikktator, thank you for answering Manas’ question. As you may have read in one of our recent posts we (the FirefoxTutor development team) are currently working on a new version of the website, in which you and other members of our community will be able to be more actively involved in answering people’s questions, like the one above.
Again, thanks!

to clear out your download manager history, without running firefox, delete teh file downloads.rdf from C:\documents and settings\username\application data\mozilla\…..
or run a search for the file.

Hope that helps!

wow, and I thought it was a serious bug.
I downloaded 1.5 and was dissapointed it didnt go away…
thanks a lot for this tip!

a suggestion for enhancement: leave only the top N downloads by default and erase the old ones automatically. That would have saved me lots of time and nails.
