177810 - /tmp can fill up when d/l large files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Scott Packard]

I was downloading the .iso's for RedHat 8.0 (all five concurrently).
My /tmp filled up, because until the entire file is received from the remote
site it is written to /tmp.  This causes two problems:
1) You don't have enough /tmp space, so d/l fails
2) You don't have enough space in your real directory, so the file is
downloaded to /tmp and fails *after the download* to be written to my
real destination directory.
I suggest you write directly to the destination directory.
As an added feature, recovering from a partial download would be nice.
