Have you ever expirienced when Chrome (or maybe another browser) sometimes can't calculate the size of the file you're downloading?

Do you know why this happens?

  • How does any browser know the size of a remote resource? It's just a guess, but it's somehow optionally hinted...I think the answer is in that somewhere. Did you test in other browsers? – Louis Waweru Sep 20 '14 at 02:56

That's because the site you're downloading from hasn't transmitted that information to the browser.
