            Bug ID: 330515
           Summary: HTML5 videos keep downloading even if you close the
                    tab they are embedded in
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kwebkitpart
           Version: 1.3.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: webkit-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: gonssal at gmail.com

When you open a a website with an embedded video and start playing it, it will
completely download even if you close the website's tab.

I'd say this isn't the best behaviour, especially if you have a slow internet
connection and a huge video you don't want to see automatically starts playing.

The only way I found to end the video download is killing Konqueror's process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open website with HTML5 video
2. Start playing the video
3. Close the tab the video is in, see how it keeps downloading
Actual Results:  
Video doesn't stop downloading

Expected Results:  
Video should stop downloading

Haven't tried this with other HTML5 media, but it might happen with audio,
etc.. too
