What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Downloading a file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It is normal? When I download a file, while it is downloading I cannot interact 
with mollify, all I get is a "unknown response from the server"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
last version

The client (browser) is working just fine while download is happening, but the 
server does not respond to the requests until download is complete. It is not 
Mollify restriction, but PHP's. Here's explanation: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1430883/simultaneous-requests-to-php-script

So this is probably session lock limitation, which prevents PHP from handling 
simultaneous requests from one client. As such, the only thing I could do is 
not to use session at all (as I can't choose the session mechanism), which is 
not very likely option (I have considered this for totally different reasons, 
but not gonna happen any day soon).
