This is a problem we are beginning to see quite alot on Archives.org in that ppl
are using firefox to download movies from the "Feature Films" Section and
getting complaints that firefox incorrecty reports the file size and that there
is no multithread and that it downloads in half of the speed of IE. I know this
was a problem a few years back and was fixed but it seems this has become an
issue again in the increased popularity of the new browser. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select any title of your choosing to download
2.click to download
3.see what's going on

Actual Results:  
status bar of download incorrectly reports file size and amount of time to
download and half the speed of IE

Expected Results:  
pretty much do as like or better than IE

I believe "multithreading" is bug 40106.

Please only report one issue per bug in the future. Duping to the first one mentioned.
