I have mine set to ask me, but there is a default, and I do not
know what it is in the sense that I would not know where to look if I
did not specify the directory.
I download to various locations depending on the item.

The first things I do after a browser install:
1) Change the home page away from the initial value.
I like about
lugins, because it is just some text
on the screen.
2) Set the Download directory.
It wouldn't do for me to suddenly start using
My Documents or Documents for a download. What
an outrage :-) I want custom location for
all my seekrets.
I don't sort files into folders. I tag them by
changing the file name, and adding terms that
I think I will remember later. Then use the
search, insert a tag or two, and find it
that way when required. When I have too many
PDF files in my download area, I make a folder
"PDF9" and put another couple hundred in there,
complete with their tags. They're still not sorted,
and each PDF folder is like a "rail car" sitting
on a siding. The reason for not putting them in
a single folder, is to avoid collisions when
moving bunches of files. I may download a file
more than once (accidental duplication).
I only have around 10,000 PDFs on here.
