http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21633

           Summary: Allow save dialog even before download is complete
           Product: swfdec
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org

In the properties window, you can't currently press the save button until a
file has been downloaded completely. Having to sit and wait several minutes
just for it to complete feels very inconvenient. Couldn't it be possible to
request the file to be saved even though it is still being downloaded?

There must be a tempfile already used for disk cache, so the only difference
would be to add an event that if and when the download is complete, would move
the tempfile to the target that was previously specified in the file chooser.

If possible, it could be logical if a download that is saved would appear in
the browser's native download dialog, so that the saving (but not the
download)
could be canceled or even duplicated into further targets.
