Allow customizing the path for downloading the game archive #21

A surprising number of people don't have 4GB of free space on their C: drive to store the temporary archive before it's extracted. Would probably be good to prompt the user if they don't have enough space and ask for an alternate path. When implementing this, it'd be ideal if we could also migrate to using a GUI filepicker (when possible) instead of having the user type a manual path.

Same problem on linux it downloads the archive to /var/tmp and I simply don't have the space for it on my main drive.

On the linux side of things, I'd propose that if /var/tmp doesn't have enough space it should fall back to /tmp, linux users that build large packages often tend to leave some free space there.

At the very least, let the down loader extract the archive there.
