Comment 8 for bug 285080

* I reset the machine after clearing trash.
= The .zip file downloaded fine

To try and identify the problem:

* I sent another 8.4Gb of stuff to the trash. (Though this involved deleting some stuff from /home, so it might not have the desired effect).
* Attempted to download another 400Mb zip
= Downloaded a zip without encountering the same problem.

* Copied another 9.5Gb to /home (i.e. does either large transfer have anything to do with this download error?)
* Attempted to download another 400Mb zip
= downloaded fine

* deleted 10Gb from home (i.e. does filling up trash even more recreate the problem?)
= But Thunar sent deleted these files permanently instead of sending them to trash, it didn't give me an option

? So is trash already full up?
= no. df says tmp is 1% full

* Attempted to download another 400Mb zip
= downloaded fine

------

So the problem is with tmp being full. But unable to identify the source of the problem.
