Does Nexus Download Artifacts to a Server Cache or a Developers Workstation?

I’m confused about you are supposed to use Nexus to download artifacts/poms from the Maven Central Repository. The documentation is clear on how to search for artifacts, and it says you just need to click the ‘Download’ link to download (section 4.4 of the PDF ‘Repository Management with Nexus’, edition 0.7). However, I would expect that clicking this link would automatically download the artifact into the appropriate location in the Nexus filesystem. However, on IE at least, the user is prompted to provide a download location. Does this mean the user needs to save every artifact off to some location, then use the ‘Upload Artifact’ feature to incorporate the file into Nexus? Thanks.
