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!!
Tried a new profile? Not shared. ;-)
No, Walt. Not yet!! ;-(
