Bug Description

This is what happens when you try to download a file to a full directory:

Cannot write to ‘136b.mp3’ (Success).
themusicgod1@eva1:/media/themusicgod1/SPORT GO$ echo $?
3

so the returned value is 3, which is sensible. But the error message (Success) is not accurate: the file was not successfully downloaded.
