Download Fedora Core 3 (x86_64 DVD ISO) the counter (when I woke up this
morning) was negative, but still downloading.  I suspect this is because of the
limit of 32-bit ints, but have not checked the source to verify anything.  The
download is continuing still and hopefully will finish successfully, but it may
cause problems when it tries to finish.  What would happen if the file was >
4GB?  Would it keep counting from 0?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Download huge file (>2GB)
2.  Watch counter past 2GB

Actual Results:  
Counters are/were negative.

Expected Results:  
Counter should be positive, and growing, along with the download speed (maybe
not growing, but in the perfect world...).

The original bug I'm posting to is not what I though, something about concurrent
downloads, but maybe that has something to do with it (I'm only downloading one
thing, though, and have been for several hours, so I do not know why that would
matter here).
