Corion says: Did you set the download directory (download_directory option) in the constructor?
-----------

The download_directory finally worked after finding out that chrome does not support paths in this format c:/path...
The download path has to use the backslash instead ( c:\path... ). 
my $downloads =  = "C:\\path\\";
$mech->set_download_directory( $downloads);
$mech->get($foo);

[download]
My final question is how to stop chrome browser from loading some documents so that the download can be executed with WMC. If a document (such as a jpg) is loaded in the browser, the file does not download.
Thank you for your patience.
