I was able to download a yyencoded 1.55 GB .7z file with "export TMP=/scratch/tmp" and running Pan through KDE's v4.45. So Pan was indeed using /tmp by default for me. For now with big files, I will use this temporary workaround. Thanks all! :) -- Quote of the Week: "The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use.
