Your comment of You set the destination in whatever browser's preferences you use makes no since at all since it is not specific enough at all, like for example you don't tell woodbird25 where presences for Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari or Microsoft Edge is to be found and then where exactly under preferences you go to set the destination folder he/she/it/they want downloads to go to.

You set the destination in whatever browser's preferences you use.
They go to your downloadsfolder. From there you can easily move them to another folder if you want to
