This probably isn't a bug.  In order to allow the progress tracker to
update in real time, the client adds the bytes that it has downloaded in
real time.  If the download fails, either due to a network error or a
verification problem, the client subtracts the size of the failed
download from the progress counter.  I suspect that a number of your
download transactions failed and were subtracted from the total number
of received bytes.  This would be consistent with observing a "Download
Error;" however, it's hard to tell from the brief description that was
provided.
