What we need is information, where the download folder would be most "natural" for users, so most people find it in a snap.

That's the bigger problem.

If we'd for example put the downloaded files into

C:\Program Files\Phex(blah blah version number)\Downloads\

I'm sure at the time of the next update, many users would come in saying "Where are my downloads? I searched for them in ...\Phex(current version)\Downloads\ and they are gone."

-> still in the old folder.

In GNU/Linux the problem is a bit bigger, still, since there is no standard location there.

MacOSX seems to have fixed it, btw.
In 10.5 there is a ~/Downloads folder by default, so

~/Downloads/Phex ; completed downloads

~/Application Support/Phex/Incomplete ; Incomplete downloads

~/Application Support/Phex/Prefs ; Settings

would be the right locations for OSX (one down, two to define ).

Still thanks for the feedback!

Which location do you think would be best for windows downloads?
