Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228968

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Simon Stacey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

The above page has links to DVD.iso files. When any of them are clicked for
download the file size is reports as being a few hundred MB. The actual file
size is 4.3GB.

As the file downloads it reaches the end of reported file size and continues
causing the estimated time to go into Negative numbers.

Eventually the file size stops going up and also goes negative. The download
speed goes negative at this point too.

I'm unsure if this currupts the file as it was still downloading at the time of
writting this bug report.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just click any of the DVD.iso downloads.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Proper file size should have been reported for the whole duration of the download.
