IE6 Incomplete Download Issue

Hi,

I am trying to download a file using IE6 (XP SP1) and IE7 (XP, SP2) but the
file is not downloaded completely in a 'unique' scenario. When the Open/Save
dialog box pops up on my browser and I open/save the file immediately, the
complete file is downloaded. However, if I wait for 1 minute from the time
the open/save dialog box pops up and then open/save the file, the file is not
downloaded completely. The file is streamed from the server side (my own
application does that) using the servletoutputstream.

When I try the same thing using Mozilla Firefox, I am able to download the
complete file regardless of the time between the opening of the open/save
dialog box and the time when I open/save it. This implies that this is a
Browser/OS specific issue.

Please help me understand what is happening here.

Thanks,
Raj
 
But is this a known IE or XP Bug? has it been resolved in SP3 or later IE
versions? I even tried this on IE6 on XP (SP3) and the same issue.
