This has been happening to me during my attempt to update from MegaZeux 2.83 to MegaZeux 2.84 -- the processor usage jumps ridiculously high for a few seconds occasionally while it attempts to download a file. It's sporadic, as in it doesn't happen for every file, and usually it starts another download attempt when it happens. I don't know if it's because of my bad connection, because of another reason, or if this is due to an intended feature.

Updating status to: Confirmed
To clarify, the busyloop part was fixed. The updater still has the same issue, but it waits before making repeat attempts now.

This can be reproduced in a Windows XP virtual machine by pressing F7, waiting on the "A new version is available" dialog for 15-60 seconds, and then selecting "Upgrade". The updater will attempt to fetch the manifest over the timed out connection and fail. Incidentally this also reveals another bug caused by manifest.txt getting overwritten by the manifest from the previous attempt, causing incorrect changes to be reported in the task summary.
Doing this in my host Windows install doesn't consistently reproduce it so it might be something related to how VirtualBox handles network connections that makes this happen more consistently. I'm fairly confident this is the same bug, though.
