Comment (by gk): Replying to [ticket:25773 sysrqb]: > As a follow up to #25770, it turns out Tor Browser actually begins (and sometimes completes) the download before the user can confirm they actually want the-thing. This manifests in #7449 and #11254 as the file being downloaded in /tmp (on Unix, or similar on other platforms) and then it is moved into the correct directory. I think there are two things that we need to keep separate: 1) The download starting early 2) Using /tmp for saving parts of the download before it is finally transferred to the location it should be in. 2) Is a bug and you cited some tickets for it. I am not sure whether 1) is a bug, though: the users clicked on the resource indicating that they want to have it, no? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25773#comment:4> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
