Bug Description
Currently LottaNZB lets users define what the Download location is, but the XDG Base Directory Specification already specifies how this can be determined. Also LottaNZB creates a new directory in the users home directory for it's configuration and logfiles. Please let LottaNZB also follow XDG for those files.

I see why it's important to adhere to standards. However I fail to see why this would be important. Furthermore, I think that none of the environmental variables ($XDG_DATA_HOME for instance) is set on my system.
Can you be a little bit more concrete? What environmental variable should we use for a download directory? Something like this: $XDG_DATA_
Another thing, if we would implement this, I'd still like the user to have some freedom in their choice for a download directory.
Finally: I agree that following the BDS would be a good idea for config/temp files.
BTW: Thanks for making suggestions!
