Description

The library used to download target files should not buffer to /tmp, but instead directly download to the specified target file on the USB stick. Else, free memory needs are too high.

Downloading target files directly to the USB stick would require remounting it rw before the download, while we only want to do that after shutting down the network, so it’s not possible to avoid downloading to /tmp first. But we’ll take care (Feature #5364) of telling the user if the memory needs are not satisfied.
