Ok last time I checked, it was literally mathematically impossible for something to go OVER the maximum amount...

My download for Freedom has been running since 9:30 PM last night, and due to a few stalls and errors, I've had to reset it multiple times to get it to fully download. Now due to the launcher being idiotic, and trying to murder my already slow internet (190 KB/s, yeah that's right) by starting downloads for patching Beta, fixing Beta's files, and patching test, I get back from school to see the download 2.30 GB/2.45 GB... Well I wait and wait for that final .15 to finish... and it does! YES! ...Wait, it's... it's saying WHAT now? 2.46 GB/2.45...? o_o

This doesn't seem logical in the slightest. I'm still not sure what's wrong. Currently the download is at 2.64 GB/2.45... I'm still confused. The download bar is complete, it says 100%, but it keeps going. Is there something I'm missing? Is the launcher just bugged? I'm running Snow Leopard, 10.6.7. CoH was patched to the latest before Freedom launched, too.

I dont want to cancel the download, since that'll make me need to start back from 0 to go back to 2.45 GB. And trust me... for all you "I get 12 MB/s" speeds? 190 KB/s is NOT fast at ALL. It takes me multiple hours to download 1 GB.

So yeah if theres anyone who can help me figure out what's going on? I'd really appreciate it.

I'm with Nalrok, let it run. What may have happened is during those stalls/errors where progress seemingly halted for a moment (I had the same stalling issue occasionally) the calculations were still being made, but incorrectly. If it goes past 3 gigs, then yes, unfortunately you will probably have to reset, as painful as that is to type.
