O fio Por que o primeiro download demora para abrir a caixa de diálogo? discute um problema semelhante:
The problem occurs, I think, because Chrome has stored a previous save-to location that no longer exists (such as one on a network drive). I was able to prove this by looking through the samba logs on our old server (which no longer had a shared volume) and I saw repeated attempts to access the old shared volume every time I attempted to save something with Chrome.
The delay was manageable until the old server itself was removed from our network, then the delays stretched to almost a full minute or more. (The delays were less when the server was still active, because the server presumably told Chrome that there was no such storage location. But once the server itself was gone, Chrome would wait for an inordinately long timeout on the first "save" of each browsing session.)
Uma solução que funcionou para uma pessoa foi:
- No Chrome, clique no ícone Personalizar no canto superior direito. Escolha Favoritos / Gerenciador de favoritos / Organizar.
- Exporte seus favoritos para um arquivo HTML - em algum lugar onde você possa encontrá-lo.
- Fechar o Chrome.
- Ir para
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data
(preencha seu nome de usuário) - Clique com o botão direito do mouse na pasta
User Data
e renomeie-a. Acabei de adicionar um X ao final do nome. - Reinicie o Chrome, acesse o Gerenciador de marcadores e importe os favoritos
Outra solução: Executar o CCleaner para limpar o registro ajudou outro cara.
