When I downloaded a file (366 MB), I see a tempfile at two places. one in
Userdir/local settings/temp/file.ext, and one in
userdir/mozilla/cachedir/cache/random.name. The filesize is excactly the same,
and increased during download. I never noticed it, until this big file, and an
error of windows saying my harddisk is full. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a very big file
2. Check %userdir%/local settings/temp/
3. check %userdir%/mozilla/%cachedir%/cache/
4. compare filesize
Actual Results:  
It was the same.

Expected Results:  
Save it in one place ofcourse
