Re: downloads

Check the Downloads folder under c:\User\youraccountname\Downloads

Other places can include your Documents folder or the root of the drive.

When you tell it to download, it then tells you where it's going to
put it (and at the same time gives you the opportunity to change the
location). Accept the default or change it, whichever you prefer, but
make a note of where the file is being saved.
