zinnium Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 hey guys,Ok now just noticed this and its a rounding error:when a file is downloading you can see "Size" - "Completed" - "Remaining". The programmer has chosen to round either "completed" and or "Remaining" wrong.example: "size = 100megs" - "60megs completed = "40megs remaining". The problem is that it says "39megs remaining". and seems to be true on files shown in Kb,Mb,Gb. Zi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 ... Displayed numbers aren't always COMPLETELY accurate. Do the math yourself, heh. There however MAY be problems with different-base calculations causing problems. The discrepancy stems from the 2%/magnitude of difference between 2^10 and 10^3.
