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!!
