Indicator label Unknown download and went over 100%

[Pat McGowan]

Mako running 148

Initiated an update of the dekko app then left the update page
Indicator showed the download with the unknown label
Eventually the totals went crazy, I do not think the download was active
Then the download was reported to be failed.

See attached pics

I am seeing over 100% in update manager, maybe related.

And I have seen them during MMS attachment download, see bug 1350307.

The percentages are coming from ubuntu-download-manager's com.canonical.applications.Download DBus objects.

When indicator-transfer sees a new Download object on the bus, it calls the object's progress() and totalSize() methods to get the numerator and denominator for the progress. It also listens to "progress" signals which provide both values together.

It's possible that this is a bug in ubuntu-download-manager, but it seems more likely that the bad numbers are coming from upstream of ubuntu-download-manager.

For indicator-transfer's part wrt the appearance of a menuitem when this happens, it should probably cap the percentage to 100% and not provide an ETA.
