download manager shows negative file size for files larger than 2 GB  (longint
limit ?)
 -  in this case I downloaded from http source which doesn't give exact file
length ... the download length is unknown , so download manager increments
downloaded bytes as it gets them, but then (I couldn't realized an exact point
cause of line speed being a few MB/s) numbers became negative ... this happened
to me with DVD iso slightly larger than 2 GB ... which leads to be think that
there is 31 bit limit for filesizes. (at least from unknown sources)
 - I can reproduce this in Mozzila 1.7.7 and Firefox 1.0.3 (both @ Windows XP
platform)
 - however file finishes download and data seems valid

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download file larger than 2 GB from non-resume-able source site
2.watch the filesize during download
3.

Actual Results:  
download manager shows negative file size after 2GB of data has been downloaded

Expected Results:  
if it's in variable limit, then it should have at least 64 bit for file sizes
and therefore show positive file sizes , however file finishes download and data
seems valid

the bug appears to be present in mozzila and firefox so I beleive it can be
present in software which shares source code with these
