IMHO "download" means, in normal user usage, "[something] put
somewhere on the filesystem where I can get to it like other files."
On the various DNF / unsafe content / too large pages, we offer the
user the choice of downloading to disk or fetching to temp space.
"Downloaded to temp space" sounds like it went to /tmp/ or
freenet/temp/ or similar.
We call the page "downloads" but it's where we keep both persistent
downloads and persistent fetches. I think the succinct name for the
page is good, but that we should try to use different terms for the
two different operations. I've seen user confusion about the
"download to temp space" thing, though not about this specifically.
Most or all of it was solved by changing it to "fetch" elsewhere, I
just think we should be consistent where possible.
