We have the same problem here in Unix-land. Every browser I've got wants to save files into the /tmp directory before copying them to their final destination. I don't understand why. Fortuantely, you can download splitfiles with freenet.client.cli.Main instead of a web browser. As a gratuitous and completely theoretical example, one might run something like this: CLASSPATH=~freenet/freenet.jar:~freenet/freenet-ext.jar java freenet.client.cli.Main --htl 25 --healingHtl 15 --blockHtl 20 --tempDir $PWD/tmp/ --healPercentage 10 --threads 10 get CHK at LlDrfA4UyxznNwBMmk92ckq2QVgPAwI,3Q-RCWOplkFfXBokCQ7iOw Star+Trek+Enterprise+-+1x14+-+Sleeping+Dogs.FM.ogm (Good luck running a command that long in DOS. NT may be OK, I don't know. And if you omit the --tempDir parameter you'll be right back where you started, because freenet.client.cli.Main wants to use /tmp for the tempDir if you don't specify one.) > I propose having the SplitFile UI request a path to save a file to > before the download process begins, so that the web browser doesn't > inefficiently download files to the wrong partition, [...] I don't think there's anything you can say to the web browser to convince it to behave differently in this regard. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg at wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
