      Description

      Currently, we are downloading files into a temporary hidden file.
      It is causing a lot of false FS events, generating significative noise, thus complexifying the synchronization.

      We could use a dedicated temporary folder that will be outside of any sync roots.

      To generate less noise while downloading a file, we will introduce a new integer option: tmp_file_limit (defaults to 10, file size in MiB). Files lighter than this limit will be written at once to the file rather than chunk by chunk.

      Benefits:

      • no more false FS events;
      • no more temporary .nxpart files;
      • files smaller than tmp_file_limit will be downloaded in one go in-memory, reducing disk I/O.
