is this a safari issue or the download server issue, like right now from adrive im downloading a 824MB file, and it says "947 of 824 MB" and keeps going. but the file still is a .download, the screen shot shows what im talking about

id also like to mention that this occasionally happens with other file types/sources, not just adrive and "questionable" files

It's not a Safari issue. Looks like the server is either very slow or possibly overloaded. Try the download after midnight if you stay up that late.

Regards.

You said that it happens when downloading from other sites too.

Maybe its a type of file format (.avi or others too?) Is it any particular sites that are acting like this.

its happened with .rar files too. the only reason im confused is where is it getting the extra data? even the site i got the link from stated the file size as 824 MB, but i finally stoped the download at 1.01 GB and it woulda kept going
