This is the intended behavior, we call it offline browsing, the content is available to browse even after a connection has timed out.
In v4.x this behavior was limited to sites where the folder caching setting was turned on.
In v5.0 we adapted the offline browsing to work even when folder caching is turned off since the current folder information is still available.
A common scenario we see time and time again; is while the user is looking through a long directory listing the connection idle times out, the file listing is cleared and they loose their place, now they must manually reconnect and try to find their place again, and on idle timeout the process repeats. on slow connections and sites with very low idle timeouts this is quite painful.
