249627 - File bigger than 2^32 bytes has confused progress, then fails to save (after 3 hour download)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238853

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

Description

[Brynn Rogers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

Tried downloading the fedora core 2 DVD iso image, the file sizes, progress, and
all are all wrong (file is 4268204 KB), and then after it succeeded with the
majority of the file (after 3 hours) it puked because it said I didn't have
enough room. (C: has 26 Gig free, and it was the destination - don't know where
the temp file was)   

I saw several bugs that reported failures with big files, and saving files - no
one seemed to notice the 2^32 byte limit (well, after 2^31 all the numbers went
negative)

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I presume spending the three hours (on a fast cable modem) would give the
same result
2. So I am going to try the CD iso's and let my new DVD burner wait
3.



Expected Results:  
It should use 64 bit long long integers to record file sizes and calculate
progress, and it should also leave the temp file if it fails and provide a way
of 'reget'ting like ftp has so one can successfully download DVD iso images or
anything else that is interrupted.   

Critical!  I lost over 3 hours and 4.2 GB of data

hmmmm. bug 243974 should've basically fixed this, and that patch was not in 1.7,
but the error message is strange.

so you got a dialog saying you don't have enough space?

oh. hmm. this is an FTP Server... -> me for investigation

(the things you listed in "expected results" are 3 different bug reports, all
known.)

ok, seems to be a duplicate of bug 238853
