Description Peter Klotz 2008-05-04 06:29:09 UTC 
Currently when copying files the output in the "File operations" window jumps from "1023.9 MB" to "1.0 GB".

When copying large amounts of data over a slow network connection first you can clearly see the progress in form of an increasing number of bytes. As soon as you hit 1GB, almost no progress can be seen. The jump from "1.0 GB" to "1.1 GB" in my case takes almost 3 minutes.
