Description Karsten Hopp 2007-11-06 11:53:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
although elinks seems to download the large F8-x86_64 DVD ISO quite well, it
displays some nonsense about the received bytes and the average speed.
I'll attach a screenshot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
elinks-0.11.3-5.fc8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download a large file, p.e. the F8 DVD ISO from a webserver

Problem is known upstream for quiet a long (since 09/2004) - as you can see
http://bugzilla.elinks.cz/show_bug.cgi?id=497

Milestone is set to future for that bug, so it seems to be too complex to solve
easily - is not working even in latest GIT snapshot. When I tried to start
download from file:///mnt/mirror/... , it just said file too big. When
downloading via ftp, it allowed to start download, so I think correct behaviour
should be that the download will not start.
Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-04-04 14:26:26 UTC 
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as
a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'.

If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to
rawhide.
(If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug
and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption.

The process we're following is outlined here:

We will be following the process here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this
doesn't happen again.

I can't reproduce this bug. I have tested it on i386 and x86_64. So I have some 
questions:

1. What is your architecture?

2. Is this behavior specific for http protocol? Or server? (I have no access to 
http://87.106.189.147)

3. How large must the file be? Does it display the nonsense immediately after 
download starts?
Comment 5 Karsten Hopp 2008-08-19 10:05:15 UTC 
I can't reproduce this anymore with my current system (elinks-0.11.4-1.fc10)
