Description
Right now the cli and daemon clients use getcwd() to determine where to download torrents. This has confused several users and is more arbitrary than having a good default shared between the clients.
Both the Mac and GTK+ clients default to $HOME/Downloads/ so that is probably what we should use. I'm not sure what the correct win32 default would be.

in that patch, the win32 deafault would be a "Downloads" directory on the desktop, I think. I suspect that follows the principle of least surprise, since most users would expect the downloads to show up somewhere in their desktop.

On win32 it's also usual way to create a default location at %MyDocuments?%/My downloads/ or something similar. But, on other hand, it's bad way for system, to store large files on system disk, on other hand, many _users_ do not bother about that..
