Comment 22 for bug 76523

No, I don't think that's the case. The files I downloaded after and
unless my memory is playing some tricks, firefox was able to report
the progress percentage.

About my hardware, it is pretty new, a Pentium D 820 processor. I can
give you the full specs later, I can't recall them right now at work.
