283845 - download file size overflows from positive to negative at undetermined filesize (less than 3 GB)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228968

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Jonathon Anderson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I was downloading the SUSE 9.2 installation DVD iso with the firefox 1.0
download manager. At some poing (I'm not sure when) the filesize rolled over to
the negative side. Since filesizes are not ever negative, the datatype used to
store this value should probably be changed to an absolute value, not a signed
value.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to download the file.

Actual Results:  
After approximately half of the file has been downloaded, the filesize overflows
to negative.

Expected Results:  
Filesize should have accurately reflected the size of the file.
