Where does MATLAB R2018b download temporary files to during installation?

During the installation of MATLAB R2018b, where does the installer place the files that are being downloaded?

The location of the temporary download folders is as follows:

Windows

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\tmwXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Linux/Mac

/tmp/tmwXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Where the X's are random numbers. Each installation session generates a different folder here. This location differs from earlier releases which would put files into the $downloads\MathWorks\ folder.
