Nope. Didn't work. It did the same thing.

I was downloading a single 3 gig file and browsing with 3tabs open and watching the sys resources and it slowly krept up to about 128,000k and then locked up my desktop completely.

I never had this problem with FF. I like opera otherwise, but this is borderline totally unacceptable. I'm about this close || to switching back to the fox.

Yeah, but I've also had this happen downloading 100mb files and it only happens while I'm browsing. C'mon, any browser should handle downloading any file size, I've downloaded numerous files around this size in Firefox and easily continued browsing and working on my other apps without any problems, and the memory usage did not continually increase during the progress of the download. And to think I paid for this :x . I actually thought everthing else about this browser was great, but this is just a pain. I rarely download files this size, but file size isn't the problem considering it happens with smaller files.

I download 700+Mb files all the time and I normally have 20+ tabs open at once.

I havn't noticed any slowdown or increase in resources (the most I have ever seen opera use was about 90,000k)

Okay, I just tried the same thing using firefox on a machine with only 256mb of DDR RAM. I had 20 tabs w/sites loaded open while downloading the same 3gb iso file and had a Quicktime VR file open and running inside of firefox. No problems what-so-ever.

I'm done.  :no:

Bye Opera.

You must have a very fast computer, because with my 512mbs of ram, firefox can't handle 20 tabs and downloading at the same time, it crawls. That's with Firefox 1.0.3.

hahahaha! I just had this problem. With opera eating all my resources. And a couple other bugs as well. I love mouse gestures though. Guess what? Firefox has them also as a plugin! Bye bye opera!!!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
