Package: jabref
Version: 2.3~beta2-1
Severity: normal

If I tell jabref to download a paper, it fails. A dialog opens and
the file apparently downloads just fine. However, as filename, the
suggestion is "/[BibTexKey].[extension]" (with the brackets properly
replaced). Of course, this would fail since I cannot write to /.

If I remove the leading slash and click okay, it seems as if the
download was successful, but I cannot find the file anywhere on
disk, nor did jabref fill in the File field.

If I browse for the file destination, the path misses the leading
URL:

  home/madduck/phd/papers/...

The only way I found it to work is to browse and then correct the
destination path, and then edit the bibtex entry to remove the
absolute path, or to do it all on the command line and via the
bibtex entry directly.
