Where is the last file downloaded to disk?


GNU/linux kernel 2.6, Slackware 12.0

Hi:
I was in youtube.com. It had a button that said 'save to favorites or playlist'. I clicked it and now I don't know where the file can be. I looked in /home/usermane/* but it isn't here. What I need is a tool which displays the name of the newest file saved to disk, that is that looks for the file with the latest date. Is there such a tool in Linux?

It is to be noticed that I haven't the least idea what the file name can be. Also, assuming the file was saved in the last 120m, I could use 'find / -daystart -amin +120 -print' I think but this would take a very long time. The time would be shorter if I could tell 'find' not to look in other partitions, but I don't know how. Thanks in advance.

That button doesn't save to disk. It will be in your favorites or playlist on Youtube.
