i downloaded a 2.4Gb file with mozilla (fedora core 3 test dvd iso) from the
switch.ch ftp site. when the download reached somewhere above 2'000'000KB, the
downloaded part was show as negative number (-2'000'000) and continued counting
towards 0. (it stopped @ around -1'600'000, when the download ended)
the downloaded file was ok.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to the switch.ch ftp site
ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedora/linux/core/test/2.92/i386/iso/FC3-test3-i386-DVD.iso
2.get the file
3.look @ your download manager shortly before file is down.




What i would think would be a good solution in such a (simple) overflow case, is
to display size in MB when files go past 10 megs or so.
