Trying to download the Fedora Core 2 ISO DVD image from several sites (in this
case mirrors.kernel.org):

File: FC2-i386-DVD.iso  	4268204 KB  	5/13/2004  	10:02:00 AM

The download manager says this is 73.9MB: lost the 33rd bit.  Right now the
status is saying: 
    299.3 of 73.9 MB at 514 KB/sec; 0-7:0-38 remain
    320.0 of 73.9 MB at 513 KB/sec; 0-8:0-16 remain
etc.

I got the same initial results at two other FTP mirrors, but those downloads
spontaneously aborted before 73MB.   HTTP mirrors list this file as not
downloadable, which is probably correct.

I've also tried this at 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/2/i386/iso/
2. Select FC2-i386-DVD.iso; note size
3. Save to Disk (somewhere with >5GB)
4. Watch download manager status window

Actual Results:  
Well, so far it has succeeded at downloading, but the display is now:
    520.4 of 73.9 MB at 510 KB/sec 0-14:0-46 remain
later:
   1021.7 of 73.9 MB at 507 KB/sec 0-31:0-21 remain

Expected Results:  
display NNN.N of 4168.2 MB and not have the time fields go negative

I'm giving it a severity of "minor" instead of "trivial" because for files of
this size, it is really inconvenient not to have a time estimate and not
immediately know the correct size.  You can extrapolate from the negative time
fields, but...

Presumably naive users would only download files this size by mistake, but this
does make that mistake much harder to recognize.

BTW, the progress bar just reaches the right-hand side (full bar) and does
nothing further (which is about as expected in this case).

I haven't yet successfully downloaded the full file.  2GB is about the max, but
that could well be due to other factors, so for now I'm just reporting this bug.
