297716 - download manager file size overflows at 2.1 gig (2^31) and reads negative numbers

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228968

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

I was downloading fedora core 4 DVD ISO with a size of 2.7 GB.  During the
download the counter stopped rising and flipped over to -2xx,xxx,xxx,xxx 

It looks like the bytes counter is using a signed int and it flipped over at
2^31 and started counting from - 2^31



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find a file that is > 2.2 GB
2. download with download manager
3. watch the status in download manager

Actual Results:  
The file still downloaded fine as best as I can tell.  When the download was
complete, the download manager indicated it as such.

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed the file size using an unsigned int to 4.2 GB or the
counter should only count KB instead of B, or the counter if counting B should
use a datatype that can go over 4.2 GB (double?? I am not a C++ guy, sorry)


did not crash, did not interrupt the download, only affected the display of the
download size.  I think it is a bit more serious than "trivial" -- maybe right
between "trivial" and "minor"

FF1.0.4 is old (The gecko is over one year old) and this is already fixed.
Please search before you file a bug and also tets a current nightly build.
