      For a USB stand-alone install I think it would be more convenient if the Download folder option allowed typing in a relative path. After all, when you plug the USB into a strange machine, like a library or school PC, you have no way to know what drive letter will be assigned.

      Granted you can check the option to ask every time. But if you are running it on USB to be stand-alone then it would make sense to have an option to download directly to the download folder on the USB stick without user intervention. The input line may have to be changed to look for some macro like USB_ROOT\somefolder\downloadfolder with USB_ROOT as a placeholder for the assigned USB drive letter. But I'm sure it could be done without neurosurgery. 🙂
