Well the IDM devlopers themselves recommend it!
they say this
" Temporary directory is required for storing file parts during download. If you have different physical drive on your computer you should select different physical drives for temporary directory and for" save to" folders for faster assembling of downloaded files "
( A download manager opens multiple simultaneous connections & thus ends up with many small file fragments which then have to be assembled into a single file once the download is complete. )
& as I understand it a calibre conversion involves creating lots of small temporary files, then using them to build the final output ?
changing the PC into a RAID setup is mega bucks overkill just to shave a few secs off of an occasional bulk conversion, surely ?
