NSURL *tmpDirURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:NSTemporaryDirectory() isDirectory:YES];
NSLog(@"%@",tmpDirURL);
NSString *myString = [tmpDirURL absoluteString];
for(int i=0;i<responseArray.count;i++){
    ASIHTTPRequest *saveUrl  = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:responseArray[i]];
    [saveUrl setDownloadDestinationPath:myString];
    [request startSynchronous];
}
NSError * error;

        NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
        NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
        NSString *htmlFilePath = [documentsDirectory  stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];

When downloadDestinationPath is set, the result of this request will be downloaded to the file at this location. If downloadDestinationPath is not set, download data will be stored in memory

NSURL *tmpDirURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:NSTemporaryDirectory() isDirectory:YES];
NSLog(@"%@",tmpDirURL);
NSString *myString = [tmpDirURL absoluteString];
for(int i=0;i<responseArray.count;i++){
    ASIHTTPRequest *saveUrl  = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:responseArray[i]];
    [saveUrl setDownloadDestinationPath:[myString stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",i ]]; // for each file set a new location inside tmp
    [request startSynchronous];
}
NSError * error;
NSArray * directoryContents = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:myString error:&error];
NSLog(@"%@",directoryContents);
