I've had /tmp in tmpfs for over 4 years now and I barely ever needed it
extended. I think the only app that did need it was the VMWare Server, because
it used a file in /tmp as swap memory. So from experience, tmpfs /tmp works
just fine for normal use.
Having a large-ish partial download on a different mountpoint from the target
directory seems like a bad idea to me. That means a big copy job after the
download finishes.
