Where does IE6 hold partially downloaded mpeg files in XP

In W98 when I used IE6 to download an mpeg before it was fully loaded and
placed in the download directory it used to hold the partially downloaded
file in the ~windows\TIF directory which allowed me to go copy this part
file during the download and play it and so see if it was the clip I
intended before I wasted time downloading the entire file. This seems not to
be the case with WinXP home (namely ~doc and settings\ user\ local settings\
TIF). Where does IE6 hold part downloaded mpeg files in XP prior to moving
them to the specified download directory when the download completes.
Thanks.

 

Doesn;t it ask you WHERE you want it to doesnlod the file TO when you start
downloading?

I'm guessing the file might be stored in Temporary internet files folder
~doc and settings\ user\ local settings\Temporary internet files or
C\Windows\temp .

Must say I'm not sure. I tend to always use download managers, such as
Netscape Download or Get right. That way I know whats happening and when,
plus I can resume downloads.

 

In XP (and probably 2000)

"C:\Documents and Settings\YourLogin\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5" and then there are hidden folders below that.

Note that YourLogin part is, of course, a variable.

In Win95/98/ME typically

"C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5"

 

Thanks Joel, that was the exact thing I was looking for. Justed needed to
add ~\Content.IE5.
