251649 - File size counter is invalid for a very large file.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228968

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Floyd Johnson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When trying to download a large file (Fedore Core 2 DVD iso, in my case) the
file size is wrong (73 MB rather than 4.5 GB) and the download counter recycles
and eventually has a negative size.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/
2.  Double click on the entry which reads "FC2-i386-DVD.iso"

Actual Results:  
Look at the reported file size (reported as 73 MB, should be 4.5 GB); also the
counter eventually rolls over past its maximum size and begins to show negative
numbers.  


Expected Results:  
Given an accurate size of the file (though I don't know the exact siae of the
DVD iso, the total for the CD iso's will be approximately 4.5 GB).  The number
of bytes remaining should not be a negative number.

The download is not yet finished - I don't know if it will stop or not.  I may
have to revert to an alternate browser if this does not stop as expected.

This is likely the same as Bug 228968.  That (and the dupes pointed to it and
bug 184452, which it depends on) mentions negative values.  However, they
mention >2 gig, so 4.5 gig probably rolls over and then has enough to roll over
again (back to positive values).

Please correct me if wrong.
