Temp/Cache Folder In order to save bandwidth

[MrAshFar]

What problem does this solve?

The app needs a cache or temporary folder (temp) for downloading assests/packages/whl files, I see, in every single try to installing an extension, the app tries to download ~ 3 GB file and if fails it will try again and again. so if there be a temp folder then first of all downloading this heavy file before installation that may fail it will save bandwidth. I mean download -> temp -> installation -> if failed -> temp -> installation again. I waited for a month to get new version of modly because previous version failed in installing extension and also the newly released one. and I used ~ 30 GB for installing extensions but failed no success.

Proposed solution

Steps:
1- First download large files
2- use tmp folder for first looking directory for downloading files
3- if exists use already downloaded file if not exists try to download it and put it in tmp
4- installation
5- if installation failed use already download or if there is new version clear cache (version x) and download new version y
