248482 - Download Manager in Firefox gives negative values for files over 2 gig

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184452

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Huw]

User-Agent:       Lynx/2.8.5rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6i
Build Identifier: 

Firefox: Download manager seems use data type int for size of download and remaining to download.
This means that if downloading a file over about 2 gig, you overflow the int
and start getting rediculus negative numbers after the first 2 gigs have downloaded
Using unsigned int would probably give twice the size??

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download something like a DVD. I was getting Fedora 2 from http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/fedora/2/x86_64/iso/DVD_in_here/FC2-x86_64-dvd.iso
2.after the first 2147483647 bytes the manager reads negative values for downloaded remaining and speed
3.
Actual Results:  
get negative values in download manager

Expected Results:  
Kept giving logical values instead of saying i was uploading the internet
