My guess is that you're using Mozilla, which uses /tmp to store the part 
or all of the file. I can't find reference on mozilla.org and don't have 
time to poke through the source.

A better bet would be to right click on the URL, copy link location, 
then in the correct directory, run:

$ wget <pasted-url>

Always keep note of were /tmp is, and how much space is there, you can 
end up screwing things up pretty bad if you're not careful.  Especially 
if you're using tempfs.

Peace.
