    which package are you using for downloading?
    if you are using FireFox, Edit -- Preferences -- Download. check the download folder.
    or
    execute this
    Code:
    find -iname amsn
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    its available in Debian sources. search amsn in Synaptic OR execute this
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-cache search amsn
    if apt-get finds it, execute this
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install amsn

    around 15000+ packages are available in sources. you should use Adept. its GUI of apt-get. enter package name in Search box of Adept and if package is available, Adept will list it instantly. you can select and install/remove package from there.
