Stupid Mozilla Error

I'm (un?)downloading Slackware at -45.4KB/sec? Thats nowhere near as fast as the 170KB/sec I was getting when I started the file... Hey, wait a minute...
Who's the idiot who decided to use a signed 32bit int, without bothering to do any sanity checks, as the means to represent the size of a downloadable file, in a product released well after the invention of the DVD and DVD-ROM?
It *is* possible for a computer to know about numbers beyond the limits of the processor in use, ya know. Were it not, the first spreadsheets on home computers would have declared everyone bankrupt had they accumulated more than $127 ($1.27?) in their accounts...
Great Scott! Marty, do you realize this download may not be finished until the year 1985?
