Hi
I don't know if this is a known bug (I could not get any useful results
out of the bugzilla), but if it isn't, the server shown in
this example is public, so the problem should be re-producable.
I realise that 1.10.2 is the latest version, but Debian doesn't seem
to think so :-)

The file downloads past 673MB, then (when I wasn't looking) the count
becomes negative, then it keeps getting more negative (past -1GB), and
then (again when I wasn't looking) it went *backwards*, got stuck for a
few seconds at -673,009,664, and then bails as shown above.
