Directory for temporary files. GNU B<parallel> normally buffers output
into temporary files in /tmp. By setting B<--tmpdir> you can use a
different dir for the files. Setting B<--tmpdir> is equivalent to
setting $TMPDIR.

A bit more complex example is downloading a huge file in chunks in
parallel: Some internet connections will deliver more data if you
download files in parallel. For downloading files in parallel see:
"EXAMPLE: Download 10 images for each of the past 30 days". But if you
are downloading a big file you can download the file in chunks in
parallel.
To download byte 10000000-19999999 you can use B<curl>:
B<curl -r 10000000-19999999 http://example.com/the/big/file> > B<file.part>
To download a 1 GB file we need 100 10MB chunks downloaded and
combined in the correct order.
