281303 - Download Manager runs backwards

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228968

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

When I download a file with a size of a few GBs (say 2.5 GB+) and the download
is almost finished, the download manager shows the download being reversed (so
the file size get's smaller instead of bigger), the download speed is something
like -300 kbps (yes, minus), and at the end I got nothing left of my downloaded
file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose a large file from a FTP server (didn't test it with HTTP), for example
a Linux distro.
2. Download it.
3. Watch carefully when the download nears it's end.

Actual Results:  
The download is removed.

Expected Results:  
Download the file correctly.

I thought this might be because of my file system not allowing files of 4 GB+,
but when I downloaded the same file with an other download manager, it worked fine.
