Now, that you mention it, I wonder about it, too, but it really does
download to "%AppData%\Pd". Anyway, it only works on Windows (probably
not even on Windows XP). It's definitely not the solution.

What is the origin of ::sys_staticpath? Shouldn't normally the order be
local first, system last? If the order of ::sys_staticpath would be
"correct", it'd work on Windows XP _and_ Windows 7, right?
