Delays downloading FakeNetMini.exe on Windows #41

Open strictlymike opened 7 years ago

Downloading the FakeNetMini.exe file by browsing to a URL such as http://blah.com/hahahax.exe sporadically hits some sort of delay, and sometimes can even time out.

@iphelix indicates this has been observed prior to now in other browsers and it was dismissed as a transient latency issue perhaps due to the tendencies of browsers to download lots of extraneous content upon startup.

I am tracking this issue in case it is a problem with FakeNet-NG itself, and if it becomes a recurring theme, we can prioritize and address it.

Details:

See image below (the "Navigation Canceled" message applies to the page prior to this browse; no content is shown because this browse went directly to the download sequence in IE).

I think it could be a browser issue. Firefox download instantaneously while IE is lagging behind. Do they approach binary downloads in a different way? File parts?
