Hello everyone!

I just noticed that this script choose a directory to save downloaded files a bit weirdly -- to /home/root. Isn't superuser's home directory /root by standard? It's not a bug (everything works as intended), I just wonder what was the reason for such choice. Is root home folder placed on /home/root to some distributions? (I know distributions with very bizarre filesystem hierarchy and utilities like... Android, for example, but it doesn't have a concept of "superuser's home directory", it has app-specific directores, shared storage and /data/local/tmp for ADB use)
