How to set Safari asking for download location

Control-click, "Download linked file as...."

Control-clicking doesn't work in ALL sorts of scenarios. More and more websites and web apps have some kind of hidden intermediary between the link to the downloaded file, and the actual file, and so control-click and "save linked file as..." will give you a '.php' file or some garbage half the time.

Apple - why wouldn't you include the option to prompt the user? It doesn't need to the default setting, but for those of us that want to go directly to specifying a download location, it's far more efficient and usuable. The as-is experience *****: having to go to the downloads folder, drag the file I want somewhere else through a bunch of nested folders, and finally drop it where I wanted it in the first place.

Please fix! Like others this is pushing me away from Safari...

I also have this problem and its extremely frustrating because I enjoy Safari as a browser.

For example, in Chrome's download settings, you have the folder selection as well as the option to "Ask where to save each file before downloading." In Firefox, you have the automatic folder option, but there's also one that says "Always ask me where to save files". What do I have to do as an Apple customer to get the developers to consider adding in something the other browsers have by default?

My download folder is segmented into many folders that each have sub-folders, some of which go down several tiers deep. When I download something that doesn't give me the option to Ctrl + Click, it automatically goes into the "Downloads" folder, which means once I'm done downloading my files, I have to sort each download and move it accordingly when the option should have existed in the first place.
