Is there a temporary folder I can find the RPM's that yum downloads to install programs? During an installation yum shows the exact name of the RPM file but I don't know how to find it. How can I search for the RPM if I know the name of it?

I believe what you are looking for is /var/cache/yum/<repo>/packages. This directory is expunged during package cleanup.
You can search for a file by name with the find command. An example: find / -name 'package.rpm' Wildcards are supported. find -name 'package*.rpm'

/var/cache/yumis a configurable location. You need to check main.cachedir in/etc/yum.confAug 4, 2018 at 14:13 -

I verified today that on RHEL 6.7, the files are stored in /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6Server/rhel-6-server-rpms/packages/.
It is also worth noting that the plugin downloadonly is included in RHEL 6:
# yum install yum-downloadonly
Package yum-plugin-downloadonly-1.1.30-30.el6.noarch is obsoleted by yum-3.2.29-69.el6.noarch which is already installed
I have found it here:
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/7Server/rhel-7-server-rpms/packages

It found in below location here x86_64 if for 64 bit centos/RHEL OS. It exist at location as package.rpm.tmp
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/7/
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/
The location of the cache is configurable, and although the default is /var/cache/yum/, it's much more reliable to check the value of main.cachedir in /etc/yum.conf.
