Any reason not to take this route?
It is inadvisable to set you standard download folder as the folder that Calibre checks for adding books. If you do, Calibre will try to grab everything in that folder that might conceivably be a ebook, such as files with at txt or html extension. It will then delete anything it grabbed. (Of course, a copy will exist in your Calibre folder.)

You may want to create a separate folder for downloading into Calibre. (If you do, you may have to change setting in your Browser to let it choose where to save downloads each time.)
