The files in question were "rar" and "zip" archives, so how would this
syntax work?

It would help to either know a part of the file-name or how you downloaded
them. If you know a part of the filename, you can use
find $HOME -iname '*part*i*know*.iso'
where "*part*i*know*.iso" is some file-spec/glob that would match the parts
of the filename you know. If that doesn't work, you can search the whole
hard-drive with
find / -iname '*part*i*know*.iso' 2>/dev/null
(the "2> /dev/null" prevents it from reporting errors if filesystem
permissions don't let you descend into a subdirectory). If for some reason
you downloaded it as another user, you might want to run the command as root
to have deeper digging capabilities. Depending on the number of files on
your disk and your disk-speed, these commands might take a modest bit of
time.
Knowing what tool you used to download the files might also help guess at
where the files ended up.
