That depends on what you are using to download them, and where said program is specified to download them to. Mozilla Firefox, for instance, usually defaults to the desktop (/home/username/Desktop).

Part of that depends on what you're using to download the files. Assuming you're downloading files with the default web browser (Firefox), the downloads go wherever Firefox is set to download them (I think this is the Desktop by default). You can change this by going to Edit > Preferences in Firefox. In the "Main" tab, you can change the download location to whatever you want. I have a mine set to a Downloads folder in my home folder (~/Downloads).

If you use Transmission for torrents, I forget where they go by default, but this can also be configured in Edit > Preferences in Transmission. If you download things using Terminal, I'm pretty sure the downloads go to whichever folder your Terminal is in (which is your home folder unless you've used "cd" to change directories).

Why is Linux said to be a virus-free operating system?

Ya Linux is virus free OS, How?? Answer: Linux OS Extracted files and folders are kept hidden which cannot be accessed by viruses. Now what are Viruses?? Viruses are the files which carry the path-name of the WINDOWS FOLDER present in Windows OS where all the functional .(DOT)dll files are stored. Once these .dll files get corrupted then the PC starts behaving like a mad bull. So, these .dll kind (not the same format files) of files are also their in Linux OS but they are kept hidden, as a result the virus path cannot find them. Thus, no damage but still the files stored by the user on a Linux machine get corrupted.
