For DRM free books, the epub file should be downloaded directly. But, what happens depends on your browser. As @DNSB said, the file name used can look like random characters.

when I download, again, the acm's for the drm books they appear alright.
and when I search my hard drive for the book title or any part of it I find nothing.
I don't suppose your area of expertise covers that strange thing... ?
For books with DRM, the ACSM file is downloaded. This has to be handled be ADE. On Windows, ADE will download the books into the "Digital Editions" directory inside the Documents directory. You can use ADE to send the book to the device when it is connected. Or, you can use DRM removal tools to allow you to read it elsewhere. The file names used usually match the title of the book.
