If you mean the "default" directory, something like this in config.h
should work, as long as the directory exists:

- "xterm -e \"wget --load-cookies ~/.surf/cookies.txt '$0';\"", \
+ "xterm -e \"cd ~/dl && wget --load-cookies ~/.surf/cookies.txt '$0';\"", \

If you mean surf should actually prompt for a directory when you
download, you can probably just do something like this:

- "xterm -e \"wget --load-cookies ~/.surf/cookies.txt '$0';\"", \
+ "xterm -e \"cd `dmenu` && wget --load-cookies ~/.surf/cookies.txt '$0';\"", \

Hope this helps,
