When downloading a file, such as the Mozilla nightly build, the completion bar shows 100% after 99.5% of the file is downloaded. The program should learn to be more patient! (Don't round up after 99%.)

Setting status to New. About to attach a patch. Ccing mpt for his thoughts on what we should really display (round down or to nearest integer).

Actually, looks like a different downloadProgress file is actually used. Going to attach a patch against that....
this looks okay to me. have you tested it? sr=mscott
Yep, round down, otherwise we could have people ruining large downloads by cancelling the last few kilobytes when the progress meter said `100 %'. However, it's reassuring to be able to see the progress meter at 100 % for a short while. So for bonus points, put in a delay of 500 ms between the time the download finishes and the time the window closes. If you don't do this, note that when marking this bug fixed, and I'll file a separate bug for it.
mpt: We already do that (the delay), and it's annoying as hell. I contest that nobody _watches_ the download window, they just start it off then put it in the background (they would minimise it but we can't at the moment). So a delay would only increase the perceived download time. "Mozilla is slow." No?
If the delay is longer than 500 ms, file a bug.
r=blake Bill, can you check this in along with your other work on these dialogs?
