Where is the default ' Downloads ' location? I have downloaded a 1.2GB file and it shows in the Downloads window, but I am unable to locate it in the filesystem. I forgot to make a Downloads directory in my home directory first, and have since made one. Thanks Denis

If you can find the downloads window (Keyboard shortcut Ctlr+Shift+Y in Linux) right clicking on the file entry should give an option to open the folder it is in.

If the option is greyed out it was probably only put in a temporary location and may have been deleted. You could try searching by name and date & size.

Note you could have looked at the prefs to try to figure out the location that would have been used, but not once you have reset it.
