User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 When downloading a file > 80 megabytes from my company's intranet (hence no url), download stopped with a "disk full" message. I checked the disk's space with df, and there was plenty of space on the disk for the whole file. I was able to work around this by downloading the file on a Windows system and ftp-ing it to the Linux machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download file > 80 megabytes using HTTP 2. 3. Actual Results: "disk full" message when disk is not actually full Expected Results: Allowed the download to progress to completion Linux version is AS2.1. Hardware is IBM XSeries 335.
did you also have enough space in /tmp? builds before 1.7alpha (yes, not available yet) store the entire file in /tmp and only move it to the target directory once completed. 1.7alpha will move the file once you choose a target directory.
Possibly related: Bug 229984 or one of its blockers
Just to be sure, I linked /tmp to a directory on a device that contained plenty of space. When I downloaded again, I received approx. twice as much data before I got the "disk full" message again. After that, Mozilla hung.
Reporter, is this still a problem with current releases? (1.7.2 or 1.8a2) If not please resolve this bug if you agree.

per: >Just to be sure, I linked /tmp to a directory on a device that contained plenty >of space. this is not a duplicate. hm... Susan: is the TMP environment variable set? if so, does the directory it points to have enough free space?
