fix: DOWNLOAD_PATH inconsistent with FHS #27

The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard defines /usr directory as "shareable, read-only data" and specifies that "any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere" (see: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html).

Due to that we should not store temporary files there, but use /var/tmp instead.

+1 for that, any files modified by the application should definitely not be stored in /usr.
