Comment(by hakre):

 well that "temporary" variable in that case is even not needed. so instead
 of setting it and in the next command unset it I just did not set it in my
 patch.

 it would make sense to use temporary files in suche cases instead of using
 the memory.

 normally I would prefer streams for that but that does not work with
 wordpress php system requirements and therefore this can be only an
 additional feature for those who are 5.2+ or a full implementation of a
 tempfile based download & zip extraction module could be helpfull. isn't
 there any way with curl to handle that better, so getting the data in
 chunks rather then at once?
