Good Rule of Thumb, don't mount anything to /media except removable
media such as floppies, CD's, DVD's, USB drives. Any of these will
automatically mount to /media if you leave them alone and will show up
on your desktop as an icon, plus the popup window will appear asking
what you want to do with them. This is a good thing and best left alone.
The thing with Linux, as opposed to Windows, is that Linux will
cheerfully do whatever you tell it do. It rarely does stuff on it's own
that is not in your best interests. So, somehow, you must have made it
happen. I set all of my downloading to my desktop so I can readily see
what is hogging up my harddrive and remember to deal with it, or erase
it. Like you, I am a video hog, too. <grins sheepishly)  

Mounting harddrive partitions CAN go to /mnt but usually are mounted to
places like /home or /usr/local or /opt, for instance, if it's to be
permanently noted in /etc/fstab. If it's short use, temporary and sweet,
use /mnt instead. Notice that it's short for "mount", which is what you
are doing. Mounting a harddrive partition to a place for temporary usage
by some application and not for usual system usage. 

And, don't push a red button. Red is never a good color to push. :) Ric
