how did you download it ?

mozilla has a really annoying download method, it downloads to /tmp
then copies it over to the final destination, sort of like IE. I wonder
if there is a way to turn this "feature" off.

in the meantime I reccomend something like wget to download your ISO
it doesn't do that.

if your not using mozilla what are you using?
