I believe the problem is that until the download is complete, Mozilla stores
the partially downloaded file in /tmp THEN transfers the finished download to
the selected location. If you have a large '/' directory and/or have setup
/tmp on its own

Konq seems to work better than Galleon or Mozilla itself. That leaves me to
believe that it's in the wrappers around the rendering engine rather than
part of it.

I'm thinking of going back to basics...

WHY do browser writers insist they know more about the operating
environment than the user...?

i don't use mozilla but do use the new mozilla firebird and it
does save where i tell it to, in addition to being smaller and
seemingly faster on page generations. you might try that instead.

I have run into this insanely annoying behavior before
too. I have LOTS of hdd space but I did not give /tmp
it's own multigigabyte partition, just an unreasonably
large 800 MBs. I download to /usr/local/download,
period. It exists on my system for downloads because
it has LOTS of space

sorry to hear about it, that's lame. I usually don't trust the browser
to stay alive long enough to download everything,

1. Use Konq on Opera not Mozilla. They for reasons beyond me have
decided at Mozilla.org to do it just like IE. (older versions didn't do
