How did you figure that this was the problem?
If it's easily reproducible, I guess checking `top` while downloading a large file might have given a clue, since you could have seen that you're running out of memory?

1) tmpfs is mounted to /tmp
2) available size on /tmp is very low
3) my free ram indicator in status bar is red
And then I tried downloading some files while looking at htop. It was immeduately obvious that it was the problem causing the hangs.
