my box freezes several times when mozilla is downloading files
and i noticed that mozilla-bin eats up to 80% or higher of my CPU
i dont know how to fix the problem
and i am thinking if i can use another program for downloading files from webpages like wget
how can i configure mozilla to use this alternative downloader ?
i jsut recall that perhapes it is not mozilla's problem
coz my box freeze when mozilla use acrobat reader for downloading and openning pdf files
is it possible ?
acrobat reader is used for reading the PDF, *not* for downloading it. So your problem may indeed be with Mozilla downloading.
I don't know how to change the downloader, but there must be a way, because Galeon can change the downloader, and Galeon is based on Mozilla.
