I was downloading 8 iso files from the website AT THE SAME TIME

http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian-cd/3.1_r0a/alpha/iso-cd/

When the download manager started the percentage shown in the download manager
was correct e.g. 1% of 8 files. As the download was completed for individual
files the 
percentage value went down.
E.g. When 8 files were being downloaded I had 56% of 8 files. Then 1 file
finished downloading. The percentage changed from 56% to 48% and message was 
48% of 8 files, this message gives a wrong impression.
When 7 files were downloaded and only one file remaining my message was
12% of 8 files. So the percentage was decreasing as the files were completing
download.
The files were downloaded properly, no problem with that. 
The error can be reproduced on any site.
I am extremely sorry if this bug has been reported. I did spend some time
looking for it in the database. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start downloading lots of big files at the same time from any site
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
percentage of download dropped after download was complete

Expected Results:  
percentage should increase even if download is complete

Great work guys !! Firefox rules !!!! :)
