Thanks. I have a standard directory into which Firefox flings all downloads. I
then sort them to where I want them to wind up at leisure.

BTW - in another post you mentioned that you have 1.5MBps service. If that is
truly MBps and not Mbps then your lower tier cable is 8X faster than my middle
tier DSL. Lower tier for my local $cumca$t is 3Mbps (twice what my DSL gives
me) and I still won't do business with them.

For those eavesdroppers who don't know what we are talking about:

Mbps = Megabits per second
MBps = Megabytes per second
1 byte = 8 bits
 
ENJOY!!!
