313808 - Download progress size/speed goes negative if file size > 2GB

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 228968

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Scott Trappe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

The progress indicator in the Download Status window goes negative if the amount of data transferred exceeds 2GB, as does the transfer rate. For example:

  -1670245 KB at -91.-5 KB/sec; unknown file size

I found the minus sign after the decimal point particularly amusing.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to the web site http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/mirrors_isos.html

2. Click on a download link for a DVD iso image, such as

ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/i386/10.0/iso/SUSE-10.0-EvalDVD-i386-GM.iso

3. Wait for several hours (depending upon your connection speed); when the amount of data transferred exceeds 2GB, the size is displayed as a negative number.


Expected Results:  
I expected the display to continue to show a non-negative number for bytes transferred and transfer rate.
