I was downloading the World of Warcraft open beta from file planet and around
the 2 gig mark the total bytes downloaded went negative and the download speed
shows as negative also.

The first time I tried it Firefox crashed (unrelated to this bug) and it didn't
resume the file when I tried to download it again.

The second time I downloaded it rolled negative again after the 2 gig mark. Both
times, the download manager said the total file size to download was unknown. I
don't know if this contributes to the problem.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to fileplanet.com
2. Download open beta for world of warcraft (2.5gig zip file - requires account)


Actual Results:  
I am still downloading this file and the display currently reads, -1597618 KB at
-279.-6KB/sec; unknown file size.

Expected Results:  
The total bytes downloaded might be using a signed int and its causing it to
roll after 2048meg gets downloaded. The total bytes received should remain a
positive integer.

I was able to download the file fine the second attempt. The error in display
does not appear to affect the ability to download large files.
