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?
