Downloading an ISO-image, e.g. the Fedora Core "FC4-test1-i363-DVD.iso" which is
2637660 KB in size, shows negative, wrong numbers after approx 2^31 bytes, e.g.
"-79%". After all, there was a md5sum-mismatch!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click FC4-test1-i363-DVD.iso on above mentioned address (or on mirror next to
you)
2. Save file to disk
3. Wait a couple of hours until more than 2.1 GB are downloaded

Actual Results:  
Negative numbers counting reverse in "Downloads" window. The download stopped
after the expected number of Kilobytes, but the result did not match the md5sum
supplied by the author of the file.


Expected Results:  
Please, use 64 bit integers even on 32 bit architectures in order to allow a
correct progress information and a correct storing result on large DVD images.
