Mac Os X Software Update Download Location

I've found my partially downloaded update files in /private/var/folders//com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
The appear to be some hash of either the computer or the software being downloaded. Try the following:
Open a Terminal
sudo find /private -name ' SomePartOfTheDriverNameYouAreLookingFor' -print
then sudo cd
Note I don't see /private in finder because of the permissions on it (hence the need for sudo above).
Also note, I had one directory in named -Cache- which is tricky to cd into because the leading - is perceived as an argument to cd, so I just cd into the entire directory path instead.
Finally, be wary doing things as root (sudo) as you can end up damaging your OS (so don't go around removing files you are not sure about)

Sep 16, 2015 For minor updates, like OS X 10.10.8 or 10.10.9 updates, Apple releases standalone installers as.dmg files that you can download once and install on multiple machines. The releases are available as incremental updates (containing only changed files) or combo updates (all changed files since the last major release). Since the location is generated in a different spot, you have to crawl the filesystem to locate the folder(s) that contain these files. Cd /private/var/folders sudo find.name 'com.apple.appstore' # This will throw some errors due to inaccessible directories, so it may be # better to use sudo find /private/var/folders -name 'com.apple.appstore' 2/dev/null # or, making use of the fact that.
