Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

Getting large files using FTP is a problem since my /tmp partition is not large
enough to accomodate an ISO image.  I specify the save location (which is not
/tmp, it is on a partition with more space) but the file is saved in /tmp during
the download process and then moved to the final location after complete.  On
small files this is not an issue, but larger files fill up /tmp and **** out.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to ftp site with ISOs
2.select as many ISOs as it takes to fill /tmp partition (1-2 for me)
3.specify a save location with enough space
4.start download

Actual Results:  
/tmp fills up.  Files cease downloading and are incomplete.  I have to manually
purge the /tmp directory of the data I received (partial ISO images).

Expected Results:  
Files should be saved directly to the specified download directory which had
enough space.
