Countdown Timer for Fileserv pauses when viewing other tabs, resumes when returned to tab. Is there any way to make the timer keep going?

Hi, when I use Fileserv to download files, it has a countdown timer like many file-hosting services. However if I go view other tabs while the timer is going, it gets paused until I come back to the tab and then it resumes.

For example, I download a file and the timer starts from 30 seconds, at the 25 second mark I view a different tab (lets say to check my email), and after about 40 seconds or so I come back to the Fileserv tab and it's just counting down from 25 seconds.

This didn't happen before when I was on 3.6.

Is there anyway to keep the timer going? As 30 seconds is precious enough to check an email or blog while I wait.

Maybe it keeps working if you tear off that tab and open it in its own window.
