I'm using Xperia Z on Android 5.1.1. Normally, Download-Manager is an embedded app. This is why it is hard to find out its path.
What is the absolute path of Download-Manager?

It depends on what phone. Manufacturers often replace the built-in apps like the download manager with their own. Please edit your question to say what phone you're asking about.– Dan HulmeAug 12, 2017 at 12:44

@DanHulme Manufacturers often replace built-in apps, that's true. But no one should replace, let's say, System UI. For exactly the same reason Download Provider is rarely replaced.– iBugAug 13, 2017 at 12:30

On Android 5.x (aka Lollipop) (also 6 and 7), its APK is located at
/system/priv-app/DownloadProvider/DownloadProvider.apk
Its data is located at
/data/data/com.android.providers.download/
Its default download location is ($ = environmental variable)
$EXTERNAL_STORAGE/Downloads

-/Android/data/com.android.providers.download/ is not present in Xperia Z. And /system/priv-app is not present too. - Aug 13, 2017 at 12:35

@dschinn1001 Download Provider, AFAIK, never store its data on SD cards. It only stores in
/data. And if you claim that/system/priv-appdoes not exist, I will doubt if you're running Android 5.x.– iBugAug 13, 2017 at 13:50 -
@dschinn1001 You'd better not browse with the built-in file manager. It never shows the whole filesystem hierarchy, but only your internal storage (or SD card).– iBugAug 14, 2017 at 4:33
Download-Manager is downloading your files to the folder Downloads which is located in the internal storage.
Depending whether you have root access it should be at /sdcard/Downloads or in your internal storage at ~/Downloads.
