Don't forget "This file has already been downloaded, do you want to download it again?"

And the options are to cancel or download again but you can't open the already existing file from the prompt, so you might as well just download that fucking PDF for the fifth time since it's not as if you knew where the bloody thing's been downloaded anyway!

you guys don't simply have a folder called "Downloads" where everything goes?

Everything does not go there, different file types seem to go to different places. Successful downloads don't ever appear sometimes.

I don't know what setting you've accidentally turned on, but all my browser downloads go to my Downloads folder by default. I'll admit in-app downloads can end up in a few different spots, though. Most in-app picture downloads end up either in Downloads or in a subfolder inside the Pictures folder, though.
