I have no idea where to get support for this but I guess I'll just ask here... No other indication of this problem and the search function doesn't give me anything. I doubt I'm the only one with the problem but hey...
I find the Downloader application to be very slow, unresponsive and downright buggy. The problem worsens with higher download speeds. Today, I had the luxury to have a 10 MB/s download link (university campus network hooray), only to find the downloader being unresponsive and downright crashing. With unresponsive I mean that clicking on a button does not provide any feedback until at least 5 seconds later, sometimes creeping up to half a minute or more. Meanwhile memory usage grows and in the extreme case of the very high bandwidth of today the thing just crashed eventually, I assume from an out of memory error (I'm going to guess it was around the 2GB mark of memory used).
Downloading the games with Firefox worked perfectly, without insane memory usage and unresponsive controls. Of course, removing the games from the downloader queue proved to be quite difficult with such an unresponsive UI...
I'm using KDE (OpenSUSE 11.2) so this might also be an Adobe Air bug. I'd like to hear what others think and of course a solution/workaround/explanation would be mostly useful. Thanks!
