Description

When downloading torrents in Brave, they are stored in RAM. This means that if your torrent is larger than your RAM, it will crash the tab.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download a torrent larger than your RAM and wait for it to finish/fill up your ram.

Actual result:

The tab either freezes, or the torrent finishes and then the tab crashes once you try to save it.

Expected result:

The torrent should be downloaded in a temporary file rather than in RAM

Reproduces how often:

Every time a torrent larger than your available RAM is downloaded, and even sometimes when the torrent is smaller.
