When downloading a file which has an unknown file size, allow the user to
optionally enter a file size in order to have a more accurate download progress
indicator. I was downloading some large file (10 MB), had an unknown file size
indicator, and it would have been nice to enter 10MB into the UI in order to
have the progress indicator approximate how long the download would take.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a large file (I downloaded from GMail)
2. Notice the "Unknown" file size

Actual Results:  
Download was successful

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to enter the size of the file in the download manager.

WONTFIX.  This is just UI that most people won't/don't need.
