When trying to download/access an 8.7GB FITS file I get an error explaining that I am exceeding my /tmp file capacity

Question

'agnqso_desi.fits' is the file (I was running an old jupyter notebook that looked at DESI DR1). actually the file is ~8.7GB and I do not have enough capacity in my /tmp for more than 8.3GB. I have tried incremental download with one of the FITS HDU showing up (looks like a schema at any rate).
I really need a suggestion/hint here, (because what do I do if the equiv AGN catalog for DR2 is much larger?).
It may be that my /tmp capacity is reduced due to my incessant need to install 'bells and whistles'.

Hi,

We have actually just recently added the desi_dr1.agnqso table to our datasets, so you can query that table directly without having to upload the file for it. 

The table and column descriptions can be found on our Data Explorer page. Let us know if you have any other questions

Yes, thanks! That should be easyer (and a much more standard approach). i.e. Just generate a ADQL query in a notebook to source a million lines of DESI data and filter on the desired columns. AND I noticed by looking at your AGNQSO table title, that a very similar query would likely work on DR2. Really, Thanks Again!
