It's 15,5MB for me.
What FlashGot version are you using?
Does it happen also on a clean profile with just latest FlashGot installed?

Sorry, I cannot reproduce yet.
Are you on a clean profile with no other extension?
If you're, could you provide me with step by step detailed instructions to reproduce?
Thanks.

Mouseover does show 2 GB.

For me, & with RTMP feeds (that NoScript does not see), it is not necessarily unusual for a download to report 2 GB (in my download manager, Net Transport), though in actuality the downloaded clip ends up being far less.

Also & more typical with RTMP is not showing any download size & only the size of the amount completed to date.

Don't recall seeing that before with Flash that NoScript Media finds, but wouldn't think it to be unheard of either.

On the particular clip, after "downloading", it seemed as if it started the download again, & presumably would have done so without end (until manually stopped).

In any case, & I assume the clip that I ended up with was complete, was 19,236,388, 2:51.

Here's one I just ran into, & again that is mostly expected with RTMP.
The 2 GB is the "anticipated" file size.
