If you download a large file, can you see it "growing" in your home dir,
or does it appear all at once?
I suspect firefox downloads it to a temp dir and moves it to your home
directory when done.
Paul,
yes here I tyred to download a kernel from kernel.org to Desktop:
-rw------- dragoran dragoran user_u:object_r:tmp_t
linux-2.6.16.20.tar.bz2.part
(while download was running)
after download it still was tmp_t
