Fortunately you can use a couple quick shortcuts within Google Chrome to locate your download folder and the file that you just downloaded.

After you have finished following this tutorial about locating downloaded Chrome files, you can learn how to change the Chrome download folder location.

This will allow you to specify any folder on your computer as the preferred download location. But before you can learn how to change the download folder, we must first locate the folder to find the file that you just downloaded. Click the Customize and Control Google Chrome icon at the top-right corner of the window. This is the icon that looks like a little wrench. Click the Downloads option on this menu. You will notice that all of the files you have downloaded in Google Chrome are listed at the center of this window in chronological order.

If you click the Show in folder link under each file, a Windows Explorer window will open with the selected file highlighted. There is also an Open downloads folder at the top-right corner of the window that will open the folder that is currently set as your downloads folder.

Once the folder is open, you can click the column headings at the top of the window to sort the files based upon that parameter. For example, clicking the Name option would sort the files by file name, while clicking Date modified will sort the files based on the date that they were downloaded to your computer.
