Where do incomplete downloads go, what happens to them?

A

AC Question

Finally decided to ask a question about this phenomenon, and I appear to be logged out!

Tried downloading a podcast, got over 100mb and then it stopped for whatever reason.

A placeholder mp3 had been visible in ES File Explorer while it was downloading but is now no longer visible. I go to the stock "Downoad" app and it appears there saying "download unsuccessful". I can't open it.

Okay, so where did those megabytes go? This happens sometimes and I find it irritating. With some programs/situations I can at least view/listen to part of the media, whatever managed to download.

Clearly, the mbs are somewhere on my tablet. Where are they? Are they usually just taking up space? His do I get to them?

And why can't I find and play the file?
