I have a similar problem. I run Mozilla and it saves large .avi files to /tmp before saving them to the location I specified before the download. This limits the size of the files I can download because /tmp will fill before my download finishes, so I get a disk full error. I had considered creating a symbolic link to make /tmp point to a new directory under /usr, but am concerned that this may create some issues. Ideas?
