You can also make a hard link (NOT a symlink) to the /tmp file while
it is loading, and when it is done and deletes the temp file, it
deletes the original yuckky name only.  You can come back at your
leisure to pick up the remaining linked file, and you can create it
with a better name too.

Use UNIX inode magic, it's pretty handy.
