it does go into a file, do you really think that mozilla would put a 700mb download into ram?

Would it be possible if I had like over a gig of ram to cache an entire iso in there before burning it?  Kinda sounds cool to me and it would help avoid buffer under run errors...  Rantings of a madman or possible?

Stryker:
they wouldn't though, it might be an option at somepoint. but i doubt it'll be the default way it's configured. most people have between 256 and 512mb. lots of people download big files.

Fett101:
Could always create a Ramdrive, load the ISO into it, and then tell the burning software to burn it from that drive.

Calum:
re: resuming, i tend to use d4x or gdm both of which are excellent and will do resuming and all that downloading in slices, throttling the speed etc.

also galeon (which is based on mozilla) has a little option in the preferences to allow you to use gdm as the default download manager for all downloads, which makes it nice and simple.
