This is very strange. Somehow it has downloaded more than it expected to
download! I've added a check to make sure that the current download size
does not exceed the total download size, but I haven't the faintest idea
how this is possible in the first place! I've added a few more safegaurds
to keep the display sane, but without something more concrete there is
nothing I can do to fix whatever the real problem is.
