Hmm. are you running the latest version of ut2003 for linux? i was
fairly certain that this problem had been fixed. it's definently a known

Basically, it's downloading it to a temporary area, and then moving it
to somewhere in ~/.ut2003/, depending on the resource being downloaded.

see the old bug report https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168

if you're still seeing this, even after all the patches, then you've got
something weird, however.
