Right click on that image and click on Copy image and then past it
somewhere like Gimp or Photoshop. :D
Anyway, if you use a LoadableDetachableModel, it is possible and actually,
recommended, to delete the file right after the download. Just make sure it
is not a file that will be download several times. If this is the case,
think on something else like a timer, to keep that file in disk for a while.
Cheers,
Bruno

Deleting a file right after a first download also has its problems,
My HP network printer/scanner does that, i can scan to an image, but
firefox displayes then that image and what ever i do then to save it
to disk, i get nothing because FF seems to want to get it again for
saving bu hp doesnt serve it anymore, i have to use IE7 for that to
get my scanned image. HP really should do more testing! And serve the
resource differently.
