When I pause all the downloads in JDownloader, and there's a big list of 10+ downloads, a progress bar appears at the bottom which says "Stopping current downloads" that fills really slowly and in fact when it's complete, the application does nothing, it just hangs, the transfer graph doesn't update, and the application never recovers so you can start the downloads again.

Does this happen in other OSes? Does this happen to anyone even in Mac OS X?

It happens for me too (OS X 10.6.8). JDownloader is written in Java, which tends to be a very slow and resource hungry language at times.

I agree, but it's not the sole fault of the language, I guess it could be done better and still in java, after all it's just a list of files being downloaded, how much time can consume deleting an object from a display list and closing the connections used to download? – Petruza May 31 '12 at 15:24
