It does not seem to be a bug strictly speaking. It's rather a totally  
different behavior than on Tiger. On Tiger the download is not saved  
until you have set the save location. On Leopard it saves the download  
immediately after sending downloadDidFinish:, so the save location  
must be passed to the NSURLDownload before that delegate method  
finishes. So I've implemented it that way now. Therefore it should now  
work also on Leopard.
