Hi Forum.
I find the Updater very useful and comfortable; but, I wonder, where does it locate the temporary setup files of the Apps going to be updated?
Because if the location is directly on the same drive of the PortableApps Menu folders, as I suppose, and it is a USB drive, this download would be slower than on the PC.
In this case, I would prefer to manually download the Setup from the browser to the PC, and to install on the USB afterwards.
Bye Forum.

its inside your Temp folder inside a folder called something like nsn31DF.tmp/Download.

Where can I find this Temp folder, precisely? Under the PortableApps.com folder?
Thank you!
The temp directory as defined on the local machine.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I found the folder and cheked that in fact the Setup files are storaged here.
The detailed path (for me, at least) is:
C:/Users/myUserName/AppData/Local/Temp/and this path is defined and accesible typing %temp% in Start > Search, or in the "Run" window (Windows key + R)
As soon as we open the Updater, a new subfolder named something like nsxXXXX.tmp is created. The installation temporary file will be located here.
Given that my updater found only an update, and so I'm downloading only a file now, I haven't checked if folders are created one for each setup file, or all the files are downloaded in the same directory. But this isn't so important.
I hope this will be useful or interesting also for other users.
