Gwget reports huge remaining time and larger current size

[Eric Apperley]

I expected that
- Gwget would cease downloading once the full file had been downloaded
- Gwget would create a new download file if a file with the same name already existed

Gwget kept downloading after it had reported 100% completion:
- reporting a "current size" in excess of the "total size
- the "percentage" returned to 0 %
- the "remaining time" suddenly increased to a huge number, e.g. 1193046

I'm not sure but this may have been caused by changing the mirror for the file being downloaded. I paused GWget and established a new download session and once the new session was in progress with the new mirror for the same file deleted the old session. Gwget did not create a new file but used the partially downloaded file and the "percentage" appeared to continue on OK from the 5MB already downloaded using the first mirror..

That version is no more supported; and no expecting backport as it only concern 'security' problem.
