109105 - downloading large images fills home directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55690

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[MIke Gerdts]

I needed to download a 900 MB file.  Knowing that I did not have enough space in
my home directory, I told it to write it to a file system that had plenty of
space.  Unfortunately, mozilla likes to download files to my cache (in my home
directory) then move them to wherever the requested location was.

Once about 90 MB of this 900 MB file was downloaded, I hit my hard quota. 
Mozilla  kept downloading and reported no errors.  This suggests a second bug,
that Mozilla  does not check the return value of fwrite or write as it is
downloading files.  If it did check, it would have realized that write was
returning -1 and errno was set to EDQUOT.
