Shareaza using the Windows Download Folder

Shareaza 2.5.0.0 uses the default windows downloads folder as it's incoming folder. I think this is a mistake as it creates a potential security risk. At times my downloads folder contains private files such as reciepts, saved emails and other things I'd rather not share. In my opinion shareaza should create a seperate download folder as was the case in previous versions.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 both have a "Downloads" folder created on OS install. This is the default folder IE uses for it's downloads. Firefox also defaults to this folder. It seems Shareaza defaults to this folder too..and shares it. I'm not sure what you mean by default policy for the folder sorry Raspopov?
