In previous versions, the data was either saved in var/folders/tx.... OR tmp/PopcornTime

In v0.0.5, I don't see them there.

Yup. This can be configured in .env (see .env.example for explanation). In release-0.0.6, downloads are persisted to a temporary OS specific directory. Previous behavior lead to issues where users are not aware of the downloads, and this ended up filling their disk space without them knowing. But you can easily enable this feature using build flags. Eventually, a GUI option will allow for changing this.

Running the package command like so should reenable the previous behavior:

# This defaults to `/tmp/popcorn-time-desktop` location
CONFIG_PERSIST_DOWNLOADS=true npm run package

Hope this helps! Please let me know if this works out for you.
