User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Yesterday downloading a big CDROM image I discovered that my download didn't go directly to the choosen directory. I wanted to download a 700MB .iso file to my E-drive (Win98), the only drive I had enough space for this big download. After 6 hours of downloading my system started complaining about lack of space on my C-drive. There was only 50MB left on the C-drive compared to useally around 600MB. I guess Mozilla first downloads to my temporary files folder, and only afterwards will copy to my chooosen destination (the E-drive in this case). Right? Downloads should go directly to the choosen destination in my opinion. (Don't know if this a Download Manager problem or just plain browser? Also don't know anything about the behavoir in other Operating Systems...) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
