I have firefox configured to always prompt me to ask "Open" or "Save". So, when I choose a book from the upload thread, I get a pop-up, select "Save", and specify the directory on my computer where I want it to go.
If you can't get your Firefox configured to prompt you for saving the files, try using your right mouse button -- right click & then select "Save Link As". That will allow you to download the file to your hard drive.
On my laptop, I have a folder named eBooks. Under that folder, I have folders for every location from which I download books. The attached screen shot shows some of my folder structure. I'm quite adamant to maintain a directory structure that will let me know where every file came from -- particularly since there's no way to keep them organized on the Kindle.
I back my files up to a USB hard drive as well, using the exact same directory structure.
