For Response's who's bodies are ReadableStreams onn iOS, the file size is reported as 0kb and the progress is shown as indeterminate until the download completes. The downloaded file is usable, so this is a cosmetic bug in the download manager. We have seen bug reports for our app where people mistook this cosmetic bug as a download failure.

On macOS, the reported size is correct and the % progress is reported correctly during the download.

I've created a demonstration repo which streams a .txt file out as a download which reproduces the problem, and includes screenshots of the download managers for iOS and macOS.
