I just tried it. I went into a random dir, and downloaded a
single small file (README). It worked no prob. I then tried
tagging 2 files and downloading. Both downloaded ok, with no
hanging problems... This is using 2.2.14, and midnight
commander:

mc-4.5.40-2

All seemed ok, and it was pretty quick too. My only complaint
was all the symlinks! Ouch! Every dir I went in was about 99%
symlinks... Must be CDROM's I take it...

Take care,
TTYL
