Hi, it is all fine with small downloads but with larger files (when it takes more than some seconds) I am not able to navigate the file manager.

This behavior does not happen when I use the direct link, and I think that is because the direct link uses the web server (nginx in my case). The download button uses the php file in the url to generate the download link (href="?p=PATH_TO_FILE") and then causing the connection to timeout when I want to do other things on the file manager.

I don't know if this could be fixed or if this is the supposed behavior.

Steps to reproduce:

Fresh install with one user and no other change
Launch one large (let's say 1Go) download with the "Download" button
Try to navigate the file manager it will time out
[proof] stop the download, you can now navigate the file manager
[proof] does not time out with the "DirectLink" button
