This is my idea also .... replacing double-backslash by

This is what I have in my pref.js file:
user_pref("browser.download.dir",
"C:\\ADDON\\ADDED\\Mozilla-Suite\\SeaMonkey\\2.0.2");
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir",
"C:\\ALLDATA\\RandoEvasion\\INSCRITS");
If you don't trust it, don't do a global search and replace. Try
it with the one pref you're interested in and see what happens.
If that fixes the problem, you can go back and apply the fix
throughout the file.
To Mark's question: the backslashes are single in about:config.
From what we've seen so far, the download failed for some
reason, that's why the OP can't find the file (it's not there).
My chief suspect at this point is the double backslashes -- if SM
tries to save the file to a nonexistent directory or an invalid
path, it will fail. But then it should throw an error to alert
the user, even if the setting is "don't ask."
I have no expertise in Linux; my remarks refer only to the
Windows installation.
As suggested by others, I looked in about:config and, sure enough,
while looking in prefs.js,I got double slashes, when I looked in
about:config, I got ...
browser.download.lastDir; user set String
C:\Users\Daniel\Downloads
Single slashes ... just doesn't work for downloading SeaMonkey from
the SeaMonkey-Project download page. Other downloads, things work
fine!!
Can you tell if your anti-virus is blocking it? I uploaded "SeaMonkey
Setup 2.49.4.exe" to virustotal & got two hits:

Good thought, Lee, but nothing showing in my updated AVG Anti-virus Free
Quarantine listing since October last year. :-(
