yes, we all trip over something occasionally (soothing look).

no-one with experience would use a browser to download big files.
use Wget (there are alternatives, eg Curl, but i haven't used them):
run it in background on a separate desktop
with 'tail -f' to follow the log file; it restarts after any interruption.

also, assign a sensible size to your  /  partition, which includes  /tmp :
i have  2 GB  assigned to  / , of which  1,2 GB  are currently available.
