You can find "in progress" downloads for rhn in the /tmp
file system. Just "ls -ltr /tmp" a couple times, and you
will see a weird named *.tar file growing during download.

Out of curiosity, do you have up2date configured to save the RPMs on
disk after they are installed?
Yes, here's part of the output of "up2date-nox --configure"
7. storageDir /var/spool/up2date
24. keepAfterInstall Yes
and after an rpm shows 100% downloaded in its progress bar then it's
stored in /var/spool/up2date as specified, but _during_ the download I
can't find out where the file is stored.
I've started to take up Paul Gear's suggestion of using strace, but I
can't make head or tail of it so far. I can only assume that he's correct
and that the file is held in memory as it's downloaded.
