firefox continues to download files even after closing all the processes, this behavior was noticed by looking at the my firewall activity log. I am using get them all download manger (firefox extension) to download files in firefox. When first time firefox is started after starting computer it doesnt have any problem, but once I open the download manager and start downloading files it never stops. I am using : down them all version 2.05 beta on FF 3.6.12 1. start computer 2. open firefox 3. check firewall status (bitdefender firewall running at report level) - no activity noticed 3. add url to download file in download them all manager 4. start download - bitdefinder shows firefox accessing internet 5. pause download 6. check firewall status - bitdefinder doesn't show firefox accessing internet in process listing but it does show network activity is going on at its peak. 7. close all firefox windows and remove firefox.exe from task manager 8. check bit defiender firewall status it continues to run at peak eating up all the network bandwidth 9. remove rule of firefox from firewall so as it may prompt when firefox try to connect to internet (bit definder firewall is running in report mode for approval for each connection) 10. as soon as rule removed, bit definder pops up window sayaing firefox is trying to access remote server (same from where the download was earlier started) 11. Allow the firefox to access it and again it will start downloading in background and bitdefinder shows up internet activity at its peak.

seems this problem is due to download them all plugin. it tries to download files only those which are in list of download them all, even if they are paused it connects and tries to download.
