When downloading a file from fedorapeople.org with firefox, download percentage isn't reported. Like, firefox can't determine the max size of the file, so doesn't say '52% complete or whatever. (sorry there's probably a better way to describe this but I can't think of it at the moment)
A couple large files to test with:
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.96/virtio-win-0.1.96.iso https://dmarlin.fedorapeople.org/fedora-arm/aarch64/F19-aarch64-efi.tar.xz
OK in researching the problem it seems to be linked to the use of compression on the webserver. When large content compression is turned on, we lose the Content-Length header since the server doesn't know what the size of the file would be.
I have added iso|rpm|xz and a couple of other already compressed to the mod_deflate part so it should work soon.
Change has been made and files now show size for download. Closing as fixed.
