Not enougth space for downloads
When attempting to download files I receive the following error
"There is not enough room on the disk to save /tmp/file.xxx"
I have 240gb free so that's not the problem.
Chosen solution
You may have more than one partition for the file system and the partition that stores the tmp directory may run out of disk space.
You can check that in the System monitor in the File Systems tab.
You can also try to clear the tmp folder.

Thanks, but I tracked it down to the wastebin, and I do wish Dolphin would report disk space correctly might of saved some time.
