I think the problem is the size of the files, with the download manager, you're probably talking about multi megs/ gig files, so assembling a file from hundreds of 'pieces' into a complete large file will be quicker when copying to an alternate physical drive, than it would assembling it to the same drive as the pieces are on.
With the calibre files, usually the size is maximun 4-5 Meg, and this wouldn't make much improvement speedwise using a seperate drive for temp files, as the bottleneck is the processing of the file, not the copying.
