Been downloading most things to /tmp for years and it was a great decision.
By the time you've extracted, built a binary, picked out what you wanted and put it somewhere sensible, or just realized it won't do what you need, all that's left over is cruft that gets wiped on the next boot.
Me too. Many distros mount /tmp on ram, so it even helps process things faster, and maybe saves a few writes from ssds. Back when I used an hdd, the diference was brutal.
