Downloading Mozilla nightly builds show "nnnKB of ???KB" during transfer. When
download finish, said "1KB of 1KB" but that's another bug (bug # 149237).

Downloads from reporter URL works ok, first case show correctly current and
final size, for the second, show correctly current size and "???" for final size.

Reporter: Try with a newest build please :)

Are you using the progress dialog or the download manager?

Tested with today's nightly:
The progress dialog  has empty "Status:". 
The download manager reports both speed and bytes transfered.
But, see also http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123334

I found that downloading the file with Shift+Click shows the status: but
with just Click the status is empty. See also bug 123334.
