I am downloading the Suse DVD image ~3 Gigabytes in size from the mentioned FTP
server.  After a certain amount of the file has been downloaded, the KB
downloaded and rate of download counters go haywire.  Most likely the int32 has
rolled over, or something of the like.  
the download manager has also mentioned that the file is of unknown size.
Perhaps switching to MB downloaded, or switch to a 64Bit integer when it is
detected the int32 is about to run out (If that is the fault) could be solutions.
I have taken a screenshot of the malfunctioning download manager and posted it

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download this:
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/suse/i386/9.2/iso/SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso
Or perhaps another very large file.
2. Wait for the amount downloaded to exceed a Gigabyte or two.
3.

Actual Results:  
After a certain amount of the file has been downloaded, the KB downloaded and
rate of download counters go haywire. 

Expected Results:  
continued counting in a straightforward manor.
