Forgot to mention....  You didn't specify your browser...  However, in
FF you simply go to "Tools-->Downloads" to bring up the download
window.  Ctrl+Shift+Y is the shortcut.  You can also check
"Edit-->Preferences" and look in "Main" to see where FF will store
downloaded files.  I like to tell FF to "Ask" but some like the default
settings.
