When walking somewhere you often walk in the dark, you stub your toe on something which is not usually there, or was only recently put there.
I had a stub in the dark last night, when I got up to go to the toilet and stubbed my toe on the coffee table which my girlfriend had moved earlier that the day.

Adding or contributing a small (usually unnecessary) bit extra.
When John decided to help out the cleaning by taking away his rubbish from lunch, he was just adding pennies to the pile.

A sore toe, generally an ingrown toenail, which is a huge weakness to the owner. In any fight, if someone steps on your Achilles Toe, you've lost.
I had A stub in the dark last night, so now I can't let anyone know about my Achilles Toe.

1: The anxiety felt when downloading something within a set time limit. Anxiety increases according to the formula
ANXIETY=(DOWNLOAD REMAINING)/(TIME REMAINING).
2: The fear of a download failing, especially for very large downloads. In this case, anxiety increases the closer a download is to completion.
Symptoms of download anxiety include: Uncontrollable monitoring of the download; Refraining from doing anything else on the computer for fear of interrupting the download; Inability to concentrate on anything not related to downloading; and other more general anxiety symptoms.
1: My class finished at 6:30, but I was trying to download Rocky Balboa. It was real download anxiety time.
2: Person 1) My movie was almost finished downloading, and I couldn't keep my eyes off the progress bar. My heart was racing at a mile a minute.
Person 2) Sounds like you had some serious download anxiety.
