usually into a subdirectory of your current dir.
if you download using
wget http://foobar.com/software/rpm/foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm

it will create
foobar.com/software/rpm/foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm

if you don't want it to do this, but to put the file in you local directory 
directly, try

wget -nH -nd http://foobar.com/software/rpm/foobar-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm

this is not a good idea for recursive (ie multi-file/directory) downloads.
for those read man wget and check out the --cut-dirs option
