Take a look at the download dialog box and you can see a reverse triangle next to the current download location. Jz click on it and you can browse and specify where to save.

Wei you do make a good use of Automator  Actually as for me I just adjust the download location ic Safari to anywhere I want and then, Bump! all the other application will also follow Safari, it's amazing. At least, it works for me

Uncheck "Show Action When Run" for all 3 actions. Save it as an application. Make another automation by telling finder to open the application you just saved.
you can mix match as u like. just dun worry to try. once u get an idea with it, you can do more wonderful stuff.

Used to be a bit more tricky with AppleScript. Now with Automator its much more easy.
