A week ago, I asked about downloading a file to a specific folder.

Probably the colon on the end of your folder name - a POSIX path uses
slashes, not colons.
I am now rid of the curl error, but I still can't get the file into the
folder.

Put the path construction in parentheses?
Alas, that makes no difference. With or without the parentheses, I get
a file on the desktop named
Puzzles To Do/2005-02-21-LATimes.puz
I thought it was impossible to have a slash in the file name, but there
it is.
Here's my current code:
set this_URL to
"http://www.latimes.com/cgi-bin/litsoft/litsoft.pl/today.puz";
set destFolder to "Puzzles To Do/"
set myFileName to thisYear & "-" & thisMonthNumber & "-" & thisDay &
"-LATimes.puz"
do shell script ("curl " & this_URL & " -o " & POSIX path of (((path to
desktop) as string) & quoted form of destFolder & myFileName))
