When downleading more than one file a string saying: "X% of Y files completed",
the X% seems to be calculated as the average of the percentages of the
individual files. It should be calculated as the total KB downloaded / total
files KB * 100 in stead. This bug has the effect of having the total counter
drop when download of one file is complete.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download multiple files
2. Look at the total completed in the window title
3.

Actual Results:  
Example:
file 1(1MB): 20% file 2: 99%  displays: 59.5%
file 1(1MB): 20% file 2: completed displays 20%

Expected Results:  
file 1(1MB): 20% file 2(2MB): 99%  displays: 65.3%
file 1(1MB): 20% file 2(1MB): completed displays 67%

This is not a duplicate in my opinion. Bug #245725 is about calculation of
download speed (... kb/s). This is about calculation of download precentage over
multiple files.
