Everything I download goes to a folder (Downloads) on the internal memory. Is there a way to change that to the SD card? I don't want to periodically be forced to hook up my Bionic to a PC to move files around.

I asked this a while back and never got an answer. If you're rooted you can use root explorer or the like to move between SD and sd-ext.

Since, by default, all downloads go to /sdcard/downloads, and since the genius engineers at Motorola decided to put the /sdcard directory in internal memory, you are going to have to either move them yourself using a file explorer app, or if your browser allows it, manually change the download directory path.
