138969 - files larger than /tmp file system can not be downloaded

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, enhancement)

Description

[Kaspars]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; HP-UX 9000/800; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020418

If I try to download file, that is larger, than /tmp file system,
I get an error, that tmp file system is full, although I do have enough space in
destination file system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a link to large file
2.Select destination
3.click OK

Actual Results:  Get error, that /tmp is full

Expected Results:  Downloaded full file to destination

I think it would be much better to download files to
real destination, than to /tmp. Or at least this temporary
destination should be configurable in preferences.
