Possible bug in progress bar/meter

ranger · 06-05-2006, 09:23 PM

While transferring files between sites, I noticed that when a file took longer than the program anticipated, the progress meter would show the file size as much larger than it actually is. There were several times when the read out would show the file size between 150 and 200 megs. when the file was only 50 megs. Any idea what might be causing this to happen?

In the preferences under graph, I have the max size set to automatic and the size is displayed in kbs.

after file transfer, does it report the correct amount of data transfered(ie 50mb and not 150-200mb)?

nm, misread original post

for site to site transfers the progress and the speed is estimated based on the avg speed of the last 5 site to site transfers. When calculating the amount of data transferred no upper limit was set, which resulted in estimated result larger than the actual file size.

To clearify this better the next release will display a question mark for the estimated data transferred if the transfer ends up taking longer than estimated.
