Details

Downloads are being written to /tmp and then being mv'ed from /tmp to the chosen
directory rather than being directly written to the directory.

Unix systems typically restrict the size of /tmp via some means (tmpfs under
newer linux systems) This means you can't download any file that is larger than
your current /tmp free space even though you are trying to save the file to a
directory that has GBs of free space.

For example, my /tmp is restricted to 256MB and I was recently trying to d/l a
300mb file and annoyed when my d/l failed.
