Downloading a large file >2GB by ftp displays negative status values.  (I have
not tested a http download of this size)
no doubt related to:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228968 (marked as resolved as of

Reproducible: Always

Download the url:

Actual Results:  

status becomes negative at the 2GB boundary (no doubt a signed 32-bit int used
for the size...)

Expected Results:  
status should stay positive
