Hey ppl,

I wanted to set my IE6 temp files directory in a RAM-Drive (set to 100
MB's), but I was concerned about downloading a file larger than that size.
The way I've understanded IE's downloader is that it downloads a file in the
IE temp file directory first, then it moves the file to the path we
specified in the Save To dialog box. So what would happen if I wanted to
download a 200 MB file when I've set the temp directory to 100 MB's in a
RAM-Drive?

Thanks,
Ali

You'd probably get an error message nobody else has ever seen before,
or at least a message which only people who had full drives would have
seen before.

Please let us know the results of this experiment.

Thanks,
