Your DownThemAll! and Browser Version and Language and Operating System

DownThemAll 3.0.6
Firefox (English) 47.01
Windows 7

Expected Behavior

Downloading all files of the download list

Actual Behavior

Downloading gets stuck, sometimes with 4 files already (!), sometimes with some 60 files, mostly somewhere in between. One or some download gets stuck at 99%, others 'start' but never start, and keep hanging

Steps To Reproduce

Start downloading... (with any kind of download speed, either 1Mb/s or infinite)
log.txt

Additional info such as log extracts

This log comes from a 'good' example. Stuck after 8 downloads. 1 at 99%, 3 'starting' (without ever starting), 3 downloaded, 1 skipped
The log was some 300 (Word-)pages (?!). I post some 10, hope that's enough.

Nothing suspicious in the log. Might be the server just stopped responding (in time)/throttling you?

I would be surprised if it would be the server. Whenever I restart the downloading manually (with DownThemAll), there is no problem. When I download manually (with Firefox), there is no problem either (very high speeds, that I cannot control - that's one of the reasons why I use (and love) DownThemAll). 'Before' (but don't ask me which version of Firefox and/or which version of DownThemAll that was...) I didn't have this problem either...
So...???

To be more specific about the behaviour (if not already clear yet): one or more downloads (usually I set max. 4 downloads, so 1 à 3, but I have experimented with all possible amounts) 'absorb' all available bandwidth - no matter what speed (with my connection, that's something between 0 and 4500 kb/s). The others (so 1 à 3) start downloading without actually downloading (coz there's no bandwidth left). And the downloading continues till, finally, all downloads have 'started' without ever beginning.

So the problem seems to be that the bandwidth isn't being divided among the amount of downloads set.

Btw: thanks, 'Nmaier', for looking into it!

I am having the same problem as Bisie. Is there an update on the situation?

@powergen501 Since I got no logs showing the problem, never seen it myself and no other ways to see what's going on, no, there is no updates or progress.

What would be the next step in solving this problem?

I need an actual log demonstration the problem when it happens. The other option would be reliable steps-to-reproduce, but given this problem is only apparent to some users and not all the time, finding steps-to-reproduce like that is probably not easy/obvious.
