I don't think [shell] remembers that you have changed directory.

A simple solution is to make a wee shell script that does what you  
want. Make it output just what you want to be put back into Pd.

Else you could work your way around that Pd stores the file in / (or  
it might be in the place from where it was started - i'm not sure),  
and move it to the desired location after it has been downloaded.

[curl -f -O http://foo.bar/image.png(  <- Schedule first
|	[mv /images.jpg /Users/images/( <- Schedule later
|   /
