235938 - Download - check disk space if file size is known

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 65770

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Aaron Lawrence]

(Moz 1.6) If you choose to save a file, but there isn't enough space for it,
then Mozilla generally downloads the whole file (to temp dir) and at the end,
complains that it couldn't save the file (doesn't say it's out of space either).
And annoyingly seems to have thrown the temp file away at that point, so you
have to download the whole thing from scratch.

(This assumes of course, there is enough space on the temp dir drive)

This is extremely annoying if the download takes a long tiem.

It should check the disk space if the file size is known.
It should probably check the disk space for the temp dir as well (maybe it does
already).
