Hey Monte - I might have mentioned this to you in an offline email a couple of weeks ago, but on my devices using mergStoragePath("downloads") does allow you to write to the Android downloads folder but the files you write there tend not to be visible when browsing the downloads - they're there, they just don't get listed.

There appears to be no standard api to list all of them and they can be different on each device... I just found some java code here that could be translated to LiveCode fairly easily if you really need to save on an sd card rather than just in a public directory:
