165067 - download window erroneously recalcuates size of download

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Downloading, defect)

Description

[John Hazen]

Occasionally, when I attempt to download something, it will look like the
download finished successfully, even though not all of the data has been
transferred.

For example, when downloading:
http://antarestech.com/downloads/Auto-Tune_VST_v3.10.hqx

The download window first opens up, and says "Status: X MB of 8.2 MB total..."

Later, the download fails for some reason (although I was able to get the
download to work in IE, it consistently fails with Chimera), and the Status
changes to 
"6.3 MB of 6.3 MB total (at 41.3 KB/sec)".  Note that the total size has
changed.  At this time, the progress bar shows 100% complete, even though the
original size was 8.2 MB.

I believe the correct behavior would be to leave the original size, and flag
some kind of error condition, rather than showing 100% and closing the window
silently.  (Obviously, the window only closes if that pref is set.)

Also, there is the issue which triggers this one, of the download failing in the
first place.  I hope that the above file will also fail for you, so you can
track it down.

John, what build ID are you reporting this bug against?

Hmm, I replied to the bugzilla email, but maybe that doesn't work, as I just got
a mailer warning.

I downloaded a new nightly yesterday to check if it was still an issue
before I filed the bug.  The build ID is 2002082705.  The build where
I first discovered the issue was 2002080605.  I just went back and
verified that it also happens with the release version 0.4.

I am using OS X 10.15 on a powerbook G4.

This is fixed. We were wrongly un-binhexing on the fly.
