I started to download Fedora Core 2 DVD image. The file size is over 4
gigabytes. The Download manager thinks the file is just 73.9 MB. After 73.9 MB
has been loaded the time remaining turn negative (which is not, I think, a bug,
but a symptom)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start downloading file
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386-DVD.iso
2. Look at the reported filesize on download manager. For me it was 73.9 MB.
3. After the was 73.9 MB has been loaded the time turns negative.

Actual Results:  
The size of the file being downloaded is reported wrong. The remaining time is
reported wrong.

Expected Results:  
The size and time should be reported correctly, or if unknown, not at all.

I'm still waiting for the file to download. I'll report more tomorrow and then
I'll attach some screen shots.

This is not a duplicate of bug 243974. That bug is about networking, this is
about user interface. As you can see from the first attachment, the download has
not been canceled after 73.9 MB. The three other attachments document the
behaviour of the download manager during the download.

Just under two GB downloaded

After 2 GB has been loaded, the amount loaded turns negative and the progress
meter is empty again.

Download finished about 24 hours later. The file was downloaded, but sent to the
bit bucket at some point during the process. From the dialogs, it looked like
the file was deleted just after the download completed. 
I should have checked during the download. Where are the temp files during the
download process?

I checked the file behaviour. The file was not deleted after 73.9 MB had been
loaded. I loaded until about 500 MB had been saved and then canceled the
download. At that point I had set up BitTorrent to get the image for me and
needed the bandwidth for it.
