[RESOLVED] Firefox cache in Ramdrive
So....
I want to create a ramdrive and use it for Firefox' cache. That's easy to do but when I did the same on my previous system using Maxthon (with IE engine) it did work but if the drive was smaller than a file I was downloading it would truncate the file as soon as it became larger than the drive size.
I made a large enough ramdrive so that rarely happened and it was not difficult to do workarounds when I needed to d/l a file larger than the 750 meg ramdrive using a third party d/l manager.
But now with my new Windows 7 system I don't want to dedicate that much memory to a Ramdrive. The default Firfox cache size is about 50 megs so I'll create a much smaller than 750 meg ramdrive which won't have a noticeable impact on my system which has 3Gigs useable installed.
Question is, after all that, does Firefox download larger files the same way as IEX?... that is does it store it in cache until it's completely downloaded and then transfer it to the default d/l folder (of my choosing) or does it download it directly to that folder outside of its own cache.
From what I've seen looking at the d/l's I've done there's evidence of the download both in Firefox' cache and in the download destination folder in the form of a .part file until the download is complete.
I can't figure out why it shows up twice if it isn't being stored in the browsers cache.
tnx
