Yes, That does appear to be what is happening.

Thanks for the information.

You mentioned that you tried Netscape, Mozilla and Konqueror, so I shall
assume you are running on some variant UNIX.  As far as I know, all of
these browsers download files to a temporary location (/tmp or the like)
and then copy the fully-downloaded file to the destination directory
you specified.  What is most likely happening is (this happens to me
all the time) the download progress meter only shows 99%, and then
the browser is hanging as it copies the completely downloaded file into
AFS space.

Easy way to check:  Switch to an xterm and try to ls the file while the
browser is hung.  Odds are, it doesn't yet exist yet, because the move
is still ocurring.

For some reason I was confusing "SubGenius" with "GNU" there.
