The download manage shows the wrong file size of the file that is downloaded
till now and I guess also from the complete file.

If the first 150,000,000 bytes of a file are downloaded then the download
manager shows that he has downloaded 150 mb instead of 143 mb. that's because 1
megabyte is 1024 * 1024 byte and not 1000 * 1000 byte

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a download of a big file
2. Let it download like 100 mb
3. pause the download and watch which file size the download manager tells you,
of the part that should be on your disk
4. compare it to the file size of the part really has

Actual Results:  
i guess the file size is given in bytes and are divided through 1000 till it has
a readable length

Expected Results:  
divide it through 1024
