I'm running Google Chrome. When I do anything that'll save a file to my local filesystem - right-click and "Save As", click a download link, save an image - nothing happens for a good 20-30 seconds, and then suddenly the operation proceeds as normal.
The browser remains responsive whilst this is going on - I can navigate to other pages and so on - but the delay is infuriating. Especially since it often looks like nothing's happening, so I'll hit the download link again - and again - and then suddenly end up downloading four copies of the same file.
Any ideas?
Answer
The same happens on my computer. I have the default download directory set up to save to an external USB hard drive.
The drive always has to spin up before the file is saved. You can hear and see this process very clearly.
