    Hi tj1287 and welcome to SF! :)
    With the browser open, hold Ctrl + Shift + Del to open the cache cleaner. Uncheck boxes
    whose caches you want to preserve and then delete / clean now. Now:

    Internet Explorer 9 > start the download. At the bottom of the browser window, click the arrow and "save as ". See below.

    Mozilla Firefox > go to Tools > Options > General Tab > select "save files", click browse and select the folder of your choice. Click OK to close Options. See below.

    Hope that helps. :)

    You can just click save and then direct it to where you want it.

    You didn't say what browser you're using so here's info on IE and Firefox,

    Don't download files to "recovery" then. When you click on a link to download don't you get a screen that wants you choose a location to place the file? Make your selection there; Otherwise, it will default to the last folder used for download.
