Downloads stop when NB window is not the focus

Build 1019. Windows 7 x64.
Downloads stall sometimes when I leave the focus of NB for another Window. Download meter goes to 0. Once I bring the NB window to the front it starts downloading again.
Example, I'm running Firefox. I have NB to the left side so I can see the download meter in the lower left at all times. It goes to zero once I click FF (or any app). Once I click the NB window the meter speed goes back to normal speed.

I'm not seeing it. I have 2 monitors so, I can stick Newsbin in the second monitor while browsing and it still downloads. Windows demotes program priority when they lose focus. Wonder if it has something to do with that? As an experiment, you could try upping Newsbin's priority using task manager and see if it makes a difference.
I wonder if it's the display that stops updating while downloads continue? Procmon and task manager could tell you if Newsbin is still downloading.

I can't make it happen now, I am starting to think it has something to do when I have a set with missing pieces. Not sure, gotta wait until I download something that is messed up. But it has happened multiple times, it was not a one time find.

It finally went to zero, I did nothing special except move the order of the queue around, not sure if that caused it. But it's just a display issue, it is downloading, the meter is just showing zero.

What's the "cache" entry of the status bar show? If it's zero, it means Newsbin is busy doing something and there's no place to store additional data..
