I downloaded a 4.2GiB (4442654720 bytes) file over HTTP, and the download completed successfully, but when finished the "Downloads" window told me I had downloaded "141 MB". An overflow?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a >4GiB (or perhaps > 2GiB) file
2. Look at the information given in the "Downloads" window

Actual Results:  
"141 MB" is displayed

(Will post a screenshot)


Expected Results:  
"4236 MB" displayed

To avoid any confusion, 4442654720 bytes is the actual size of the file (as reported by "du -b"), which equates to 4236.8 MiB, or 4.13 GiB - so 4.1 GiB to 1 decimal place.

The 4.2 GiB mentioned in the bug report are the size as reported by ls etc., i.e. disk usage.
