There are some non-Windows issues too, so it's worth waiting. Most people have their browsers set up to download to $HOME/Downloads, but wherever your browser sends the tarball is fine as long as you can find it. Once it's downloaded just say tar -xf /path/to/gnucash-3.1.tar.bz2 from your home directory. Tar will create the gnucash-3.1 directory for you.
