Hi Lynkin,

This depends on the browser settings(e.g: Chrome):

There checkbox to "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

Best Regards.

Hello Linkin,

good name :)

You cannot change the downloads folder using javascript, of course that should exist some tweaks, but nothing that can used safely and cross browser.
