In the past, when ever I downloaded anything, I could find it at the green arrow.  Not so with the new Windows 8.1.  It took me several attempts and several minutes to find my stuff.  And, the location changed from moment.  Some times it was on the right side of the screen and some times it was on the left side of the screen.  This was very frustrating.  But, eventually, I learned the various hiding places for my downloads.
