 Replying to [comment:3 Barret Oliver]:
 > It's not the fact that Cyberduck creates an new folder that's a problem.
 Cyberduck creates a new folder inside the hidden folder Volumes and then
 downloads files into it.  Mac OS does not show hidden folders and the
 average Mac user does not know how to view hidden folders (as the hidden
 folders are usually reserved for the operating system).  A user of
 Cyberduck could download a gigabyte file which then "vanishes" completely
 from his computer, yet the file is now hidden and taking up a gigabyte of
 space.  This to me seems like a big defect.

 Thanks for the clarification.
