Well, thanks Doug.  Did as you said and the popup showed to doenload in 
/home/me/Downloads instead of Desktop.  Ubuntu always changing the defaults-:o).  I looked and it was there.  One problem solved.  Thanks again for the tip.  Could have sworn I looked there before but it wasn't there at that time-:o)
