(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

It appears that the download file size in bytes is stored as a signed int
(guess?).  What I can tell you is that once the file size reached 2GB from the
above url, the size of the file (size of the transferred portion of it, that is)
went to a negative value that counted UP from -2GB.  Speed went negative too,
but how far off it was, I can't say.  This could have easily been a dependence
of this number on the first.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to the above URL, or try an ftp transfer of any file larger than 2GB.
2. Observe.
3.
