Thanks for that, I didn't think it was a direct threat, but was unhappy about the behaviour. which I still find rather strange.

I saw a potential for leaving a very obscured hidden file (files) on the system, which could form a helper basis for an exploit, even if is does not directly cross a security boundary. No direct evidence of an actual exploit, though (fingers crossed).

At the moment, I reckon this has only happened consistently with Ryushare.
Other downloads seem to work most of the time, though I still have the (slightly unconscious) impression that some other downloads initially get diverted to /tmp, but act correctly later on.
