IE download question

[Emret]

Is there a way to disable temp file writing while downloading with IE ?

When I download alot of large files, IE writes them to temp internet files folder, then copies them to where I initially wanted to download them.. this brings a huge strain if more than one files finished downloading and started copiing at the same time..

Ofcourse I could always use a downlaod assistant, but I wondered if theres a way to turn this off in IE so it starts writing the file to where I saved it and not to temp folder

I do not believe there is a way to turn that off.

But am too lazy to find out otherwise.

It's a pain isn't it? Last time I downloaded Americas Army, it literally took longer to finish screwing around with the copy process than what it did to download the thing.

Still... I'm yet to find a cure, it's rare that I download anything over http though.
