[QUOTE="riverteeth, post: 1039236, member: 43488"] As so many items get routed to the downloads folder (email attachments, pdfs and .doc files from an internet browser, etc.), not just software updates, I find it's a good idea to clear it out pretty often, almost every day for me. That way I'm sure the content I want to keep is saved somewhere else on disc that makes sense in my file architecture. I used to keep a "temp" folder in windows for this purpose, cause I loth a cluttered desktop. [/QUOTE]
