Fingers are sometimes faster than the mind, you know ;-)
Dunno. Sometimes I do one way, others the other way. I'm not that

I thought it would, but maybe not. Maybe it has to be purged by the /tmp
system purge script, which by default deletes after 180 days.

What? :-O
Are you positive of that? Seems a bug to me. Why would they do it that

Yes, sometimes I look in there, using command line "file" to find a file
that right-click refuses to download, like google map tiles ;-)
I knew that conqueror has that ability, just it didn't occur to me using
