The last part of the line specifies the mount point, so you haven't listed the 
size of /tmp. If it's not in the list, it's part of /
If you do 'df -h /tmp/' you'll see how big /tmp is.

tmpfs is a filesystem type, not a mount point.

Yes, by adding/changing a line in /etc/fstab like: 

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=50%,mode=1777 0 0

You can probably specify different unit's then 50%, but I don't have that info on 
hand.
tmpfs is normally (?) 'stored' in RAM, so it may be handy/needed to have a 
(large) swap partition, so if it runs out of RAM, it can store data in swap.

Without an indication of why it was un-downloadable, it's hard to give tips to 
solve it ;-)
