You don't say what Operating System you are using, nor which browser, but in Windows the default location is usually in your "My Downloads" folder.
You can change setting that in the browser's Tools > Options settings. I changed mine to the Desktop.

When I try to download I get a box which gives me the option of Save or Cancel. If I click Save, I don't get an option asking me where to save, but something is downloaded. It's not in My Documents or in My Downloads, and I can't find it anywhere. How do I find it?
