Where should the preferences files be, so that they don't confuse the ones who aren't that adept with computers, but are still accessible?

For MacOSX it seems to me that prefs should be in ~/Application Support/Phex

But what should be the default location for downloads?

And which one for GNU/Linux / Unix and for WIndows?

We tried to find good locations about half a year ago, but we couldn't come up with a solution for all platforms, so we delayed changing them.

I use GNU/Linux myself, but I'm not sure which location of downloads would be best for the greatest part of our users. Firefox puts everything on the desktop, but I don't know if that's the right approach.
