I think Konq does exactly what you're asking. When downloading, it will put the file in your download directory and call it <whatever>.part. So, you might want to try Konq to do that. You might be able to work around the problem in Moz by turning your cache off. That's just a guess, but it might work...

Gotta vent... <SIGH> WHY do browser writers insist they know more about the operating environment than the user...? Used Mozilla to download 9.2beta1 to *MY* choice of target disk (yup, I finally have partitions available to test...); yet after over 300MB EACH downloaded, cd1 bombed out for lack of disk space... wasted 330M of bandwidth... :^PPPPPPPP I KNOW WHERE there is enough disk space to d/l the 3 images, so I tell Mozilla to d/l them there, yet the dumb fsck insists on d/l'ing to /tmp... Lesseee..... Moz logic: cd1 at 665M < available /tmp at 985M => fits! cd2 at 664M < available /tmp at 985M => fits! cd3 at 666M < available /tmp at 985M => fits! so cd{1,2,3} *must* fit on /tmp... Yeah, Right...! YUCH!!!!! Since Moz is too dumb to realize that it should look at the SUM of the downloads, I've also had to abort the cd3 d/l, hoping I can resume it via ftp reget; otherwise, another 330M wasted bandwidth... Better, if browsers would just *accept* the user's choice of d/l location, we'd surely be happier... What's the point of d/l'ing to /tmp, only to copy it to the final destination, when d/l'ing to the final location with just a rename would suffice -- and avoid stupid design flaws like forgetting to use the SUM of downloads... not to mention needing TWICE the amount of disk space for ANY download! </SIGH> If there's a way to override this behaviour, it's not obvious and/or I'm too pissed to find it... Then, there were the failed downloads overnight... appears that ibiblio.unc.edu removed the images during those downloads; yet, Moz claimed "Finished" after ~20M each...
