183635 - download to c:\windows\temp rather than specified target, then copies to target

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Brent Beach]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Downloading appears to copy to c:\windows\temp, then after completion, copies to
the actual target directory. 

This is not so good for very large files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Dwnload a large file (Mandrake distro)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
After the download completes, Mozilla locks while it copies the file from the
C:\windows\temp folder to the target folder. If the target is on another disc
(or partition of the same disc) this can take quite a while for a large file.
While this copy is taking place, Mozilla does not respond to window activation
commands - nor does the download window open.

Expected Results:  
For large files, where the target folder is not on c:\, copy directly to the
target folder.

One of the copied files also ended up the wrong length. I am not sure if this is
a bug or a problem with the download - the manager says it copied 716352KB - or
the copy operation - the file is only 510,345KB in the final target folder.

Dup of bug 69938

There are several "wrong length" bugs filed lately, so whatever that is - it's
covered for. (Please only file one bug per bug-report)
