Hi Gilles,

Thanks for the detailed testing of this. Sorry I haven't had time to look into this more and only got to look at the bug again today!

Testing this exact problem (before the patch) is difficult as it's a threading problem. Basically you would need to replicate more than one download completing in the background thread before the foreground thread does the rename. You could try and overload the machine during the transfer but that may still not replicate it - I think it's very clear from the code that this can happen, and that my patch fixes the problem, so I'm glad you committed it - thanks!

I'll see when I next get a chance if I can do any more on this.

In the mean time if anyone else can test (especially on Fedora 8 i386 as I've provided RPMs - Yip Wai Peng could you run these?) then that would be great.
