youtube-dl is creating tons of frag files, it does it one at a time but it is thrashing my HD and not good for flash drive(which I moved to because I got tired of hearing the thrashing and don't want to ruin my drive).

I am downloading about 30gb and the frag files are about 512k each. Not sure why it can't just use a memory buffer.

Why was this closed? Is this issue going to be addressed or is addressed? I'm pretty sure a simple memory buffer would do wonders here and should have no problem doing. I have 16GB. I could even spare 1GB for youtube-dl rather than it deteriorate my HD. Note that it does not do this on all downloads, it seems only on certain ones.

I just upgraded to 64GB... bug no way in hell is youtube-dl going to be able to download in larger chunks than 512kB and just continue to thrash my HD.
