Problem managing blocked downloads

I understand you use a Google resource to determine that certain sites may be a source of suspect files. The problem with this is that public fileshare sites are often included, with many completely legitimate files blocked as a result. What I absolutely do NOT understand is why you have configured Firefox so that the file (100s of megabites in many cases) completes downloading before indicating that it has been blocked. This makes absolutely NO sense, and wastes huge amounts of bandwith. Since the source is known before the file is downloaded, the download should be blocked before it is begun. Please fix this !!!!!
I also recommend that in such cases, you should produce a message indicating that the download is from a suspected site, and give the user the option to continue anyway. This is certainly preferable from a security standpoint to having the user turn off all site-based security and then have to remember a long time later after downloads complete to turn it back on.

I understand that there is an issue with downloading, please submit your feedback to input.mozilla.org.
As for future issues with downloads, please see the following troubleshooting:
*[[What to do if you can't download or save files]]
*[[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]]

  • I paid apple to rent a movie.  I clicked on the movie icon and the message is "You've already rented this but it hasn't been downloaded.  go to downloads to manage your downloads.  The problem is that there is no download icon to click on to get the movie

    I paid to rent a movie.  I click on the icon to play the movie and the message, "go to downloads to manage your downloads" appears.
    The problem is that there is no "download" icon anywhere on my ipad to click on.  It normally is at the bottom right of the screen when
    I am looking at movies in itunes.
    I don't know what to do now.
    I have two movies that are in my rental screen that I have paid for but can't watch.
    Please help.

  • Software Download Manager not downloading files?

    I am working with software download manager and it gives me the error message about the download cannot be completed. My internet connection is fine but I think their might be a problem with the download manager. What are some possible reinstallation areas
    I can consider and what could possibly be the problem?

    Hi,
    You can check this issue in Clean boot to see if other security app or Firewall blocking the downloading behavior.
    Also we can use Process monitor and Network monitor to track the downloading events and see if any component of this program was blocked or the network communication was interrupted.

    Sorry for the later reply, I have resolved this by using an alterative internet connection at a relatives house which was faster.

  • Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives

    Blocking downloads to hard drive, but not flash drives
    A nonprofit has asked me to configure new Windows 7 computers so that all content is BLOCKED from the hard drive, but any downloads may be downloaded to the individual's flash drive.
    The nonprofit allows individuals to play games, check e-mails, but we have a problem with them trying to upgrade Firefox, Google, etc.
    They want all configuration to the DEFAULT STATUS after a person log off the computer....no upgrades to any programs!
    I will occasionally upgrade programs once a month or so, as the volunteer administrator.
    They have changed the controls from Windows ME and XP, when I was a computer programmer and installer (I also worked during Windows 3.11, 95 and 98/98 SE versions as well)...
    Anyone help me, please?

    1. You can change security with cacls function. However if you do it in wrong way, you can cut the branch you are sitting on:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490872.aspx
    2. If you are working in Active Directory, consider Group Policy
    3. Consider third pty software for granular access control (DeviceLock,...)
    4. There is nearly nothing that you can transfer from previous technologies. (Even nice
    steady state in Windows XP has no continuation. Consider
    kiosk mode in Windows 8.1)

  • 'You've already rented this but it hasn't been downloaded. Go to Downloads to manage your downloads.'

    I rented a movie and I can't get it to download onto my iPad. I go into my videos, press the download icon, and I get the 'You've already rented this but it hasn't been downloaded. Go to Downloads to manage your downloads.' Pop up. The problem is, there is no 'Downloads' option, in 'Videos' or iTunes..
    I tried following matt00's advice from https://discussions.apple.com/message/23950236#23950236, but again, there is no 'downloads' option in iTunes.
    I then tried logging out of and back into iTunes, but to no avail, my movie still refuses to even show up in 'purchased'
    How do I download my movie?

    Here's the solution: contact Apple support.  They will not only refund your money but give you a credit for another rental.  Download to a computer instead of ipad.  Sync ipad with itunes. 
    Maybe someday Apple will fix the bug, until then, don't download directly to ipad.

  • I have problems getting Adobe Download Assistant installed

    I had to remove it and know i'm trying to download the try version of InDesign, but the download assistant doesn't install automatically like it should do. When the installation it's almost done a window appears saying that it needs administrator's privileges in order to complete the installation, and since i am using the administrator account i don't know why this happens.
    PS. sorry the grammar errors, english is not my mother language

    Hi, Thanks for the advice, but i already know how to do that when i ALREADY HAVE the file, this is the thing, i'll show you some screens. To explain better my problem
      It's in spanish, sorry :)well, there is the link to download InDesign, then when I click the link
    then; since i don't have the downloader assistant, wich is supossed to install automatiacally. It start downloading
    Then when the process is complete this window appears. It says: There has been found these problems: Adobe Application Manager wasn't able to install. Other times what it says is that it requires administrator's permisson or something like that, so i moved my Adobe folder to another place, to my public files. Then i try to do the same download again and now this is what the windows says. I can't do the click right on the file because there is no file. The Assistant wich I need in order to get the InDesign run file desn´t even finish installing.

  • I had problems during the download.

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12...I had problems during the download...is it possible to get a hard copy on disc?

    Try downloading the trial instead. It's the same file, just without the added hassles from the application manager.

  • Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

    Just upgraded to firefox 4 and websites are now taking ages to load, there were no problems when I downloaded the upgrade. Is there a fault with the new version of firefox?

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Earlier back up is corrupted. Thank you in advance. No longer have my old iPod but getting new one.

    If you had the hard drive from the original machine, a backup of the same, an iPod with the media, or a subscription to iTunes Match then there would have been hope, but alas no.
