Another use-case for the separate temp folder is the following: the temp folder could be on the OS drive and the destination folder on a different drive, say a shared network drive or a NAS. Without the separate folder, the external drive or the NAS needs to have the drives powered up for the complete duration of all downloads. If the temp is on the OS drive, the external drive or NAS can power down all drives and only needs to wake up when a download is complete and the finished files are transferred over. Especially with increasingly popular RAID NAS systems, this would have quite an impact on power consumption.
