I've been put in the following situation:
10 files (png images) with sizes varying between 3.9M and 6.8M. I am copying these files within the same partition and press cancel when the copying process reaches the third file.
Result: the copying doesn't stop and continues until ALL files get copied.
Although I know this might be related to the fact that I'm using large buffer sizes (10240 and 512 - default method) I still find this behaviour unacceptable - the canceling should happen instantly.
Tested with 6.55 and 7b2.
Canceling copy with big buffer sizes [bug?]

I have uploaded a video file at: http://www.drivehq.com/file/ShowFolder.aspx?G=1&shareID=732576
I have to to say that this only happens when the computer is under heavy load (50% and more proc usage, lots of HDD access) but I do not consider this as an excuse, canceling is buggy.
Upon pressing download Opera offers me to save the file as application (with exe extension). The file is in fact a rar archive, just rename afterwards or save as type "all files" and manually enter the extension .rar.
Further more I wasn't able to figure out a direct link to the file, but I don't think that is a problem as currently there is only one file in there.
