151873 - downloading a big file to a big enough directory won't work cause the cache directory or /tmp get full first

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Rodrigue ASSARD]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020519
BuildID:    2002051920

ok : i used many version of mozilla and still the pb remains .
I try to download a big file (say an ISO image of a CD) on a directory say
/big_dir that's big enough to hold the file.
If the partition on which the cache is located gets full and/or /tmp can't hold
the cache file, the download process is stopped (usually after waiting a bunch
of time) and there's no way to reuse what was downloaded.
so it's a bug :-(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.reduce space on partition where cache directory should be (idem for /tmp))
2.download a ISO CD image (ex: Redhat Linux CD 1, redhat.com i guess) to a
directory big enough to hold the CD
3.wait till the warning window appears and cancels the process.

Actual Results:  1- i scream !
2- i curse mozilla !
3- i lose one or two hours downloading empty 

Expected Results:  1- be happy with the downloaded file on my HD

this bug is here for very long time ... nobody seems to use it !
or everybody got big disk for every partition....
or perhaps it's too scary too use bugzilla...
