Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55307

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When downloading some 100MB movies from http://bmwfilms.com, Mozilla managed to
fill up my temp (D:) drive.

I discovered that it was saving a copy in the Mozilla CACHE dir (D:\MozCache
...), and in TEMP (D:\temp\).

I told it to download to G:\
I know it normally saves to TEMP, and then copies to the destination when it's
done, but I don't think it's reasonable for it to also save to the CACHE, esp.
when I have the cache set to 50MB max.

My D: drive had 190MB free, and it got filled trying to d/l 1 100MB file.

Thanks


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put CACHE and windows TEMP (temp=d:\temp) on a small drive/partition.
2. download a file sized at least 51% of free space
3. PROFIT! :)

Actual Results:  
Download manager said it failed to write to d:\temp\filename due to disk full...


Expected Results:  
don't store d/l's in both CACHE and TEMP

I'm sorry, but this is not quite the same as
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69938

My point is the file should not go into CACHE, ESP IF IT'S BIGGER THAN CACHE MAX
SETTING!

Thank you,
Barry
