It's the price for total compatibility with Windows games. Are you willing to make that sacrifice?

16,777,216 is the maximum value that can be stored in a 24-bit mantissa
An IEEE 754 singleāprecision float has 23 explicit bits for the significand (mantissa) plus an implicit leading 1, giving a total of 24 bits of precision.
This means that all integers up to 224=16,777,2162^{24} = 16,777,216224=16,777,216 can be represented exactly.
tl;dr this is probably a placeholder value, or a bug (of course!)

it's probably showing a weird number instead of 0 (it's unscheduled so it's not started yet) on the downloaded part (it's downloaded / total).
the weird number is probably because it's showing -1 casted to an unsigned number.
as you can see, the total is 766.5 MB. I think you can just download it safely.

It's like when Windows 98 / 95 would tell me a download would take 16 million years to finish. LOL I don't miss dial-up, but I do miss the old internet.
