What's in your Downloads folder right now?

[grendel]

In the spirit of the clipboard topic, lets talk about download folders! What's the most recent file? How many files do you have? What's the oldest one? Largest one? Perhaps... weirdest one? ;P

oddish is definitely the cutest citizen of my download directory! the innerteapot one is a photograph of a fence in fog, i like it a lot. the mroik one is a friday postcard (iirc) i also liked. world of tarot is a dos program i found on this forum the "DB_Ticket" pdfs are train tickets. us-kbd i downloaded to help myself get used to a us keyboard layout (it seems more convenient for programming), but i always just use de and dk (even though i can easily switch to us now, too).
imgrec are just pictures from my phone and i have no idea why the directory is called imgrec.

funny story
i dont have a downloads folder
back in the ancient ages of like 2 years ago i was using a normal DE so i had such a thing as a desktop, as a solution to the problem of ever expanding downloads, i made all downloads get dumped onto my desktop so i was forced to see the mess that it is
but i stopped using normal DEs so now my desktop folder, is a downloads folder with a few desktop files scattered in it... anyway here goes
