Read this message from Netscape Mailing List:

I just downloaded the StarOffice 5.0 Personal Edition using Netscape 4.04 via the HTTP protocol. The download completed, but there was a minor problem with the progress bar on the Saving dialog. While the download rate, and number of bytes downloaded worked OK, the progress bar and the percentage complete did not agree. By the time the download completed, the percent complete only read 27 %. The progress bar was
about half way accross, which agrees with neither the actual download or the percent complete. I never have seen either problem before, although I have downloaded many files. None of the files I previously downloaded approached the size of this one (75402K, or 77,211,660 bytes)
