174308 - Temporary download file location causes disk space problems

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Bruce Brackbill]

Not being able to choose the default temp file location, or just the fact that
there is a temp file in the first place causes problems when the default temp 
file location ( c:\windows\temp on my machine ) is smaller than the file I want
to download,  even though the final destination is large enough.

Here is a scenerio.

I start donloading some large file to D:\temp 
 ( D:\temp is large enough to hold this file )

But Mozilla holds the temp file in c:\windows\temp
 ( c:\windows\temp is way to small to hold this file
   but I cannot change the temp directory )

Windows give disk space warnings and all goes to hell in
a handbag
