Build Identifier: 3.6.M7 When installing artifacts bigger than 2.1 gig (well, 2^31 bytes to be precise) the ProgressStatistics class will produce a message that says "Fetching x of -123123B", showing an integer overflow. After some digging I found the culprit to be the UrlConnectionRetrieveFileTransfer, a class that uses the JRE-provided file transfer, a transfer that stores file size in an integer, where every other place is using long. Not sure what to do about this, but maybe we can use a different file transfer for file: URIs, or maybe even convince sun/oracle/whoever to add a long version of the contentLength method? From class java.netURL.Connection: public int getContentLength() { return getHeaderFieldInt("content-length", -1); } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have an artifact bigger 2.1 gig 2. Install it from a file: URI 3. Watch the install progress

>Not sure what to do about this, What about splitting your artifact in two :) Do you know if the same issue is happening when using the apache http client ?
(In reply to comment #2) > What about splitting your artifact in two :) Yes, that's an acceptable workaround, but not a fix ;) > > Do you know if the same issue is happening when using the apache http client ? I did not try but looked at the http code and there everything is about long's, no int's to be found...
