Here is how I did it, there are other ways but this was my choice;

1. Using a file browser, remove/delete the 'Downloads' folder in /home/nemo

2. Using a file browser, create a new folder in your sdcard and call it 'Downloads'

3. Using Terminal, create a symlink in /home/nemo, the command is; ln -s /media/sdcard/32GB/Downloads**

** The path I've given is for MY sdcard, yours will be different unless you have also named your SDCARD as '32GB'....nonetheless, your symlink will start with /media/sdcard/ fill in the rest of the details.

Now download something from the net and check the contents of your 'Downloads' folder in your sdcard.
