How do you download files? Using wget, ftp, web browser ?

next time, instead of clicking the link to download the file, right click it and choose "save link as"

Oh, and I'm pretty sure (for firefox) in Edit -> Preferences, on the downloads portion, you can change the default place to download files to.

Good luck!
