When retrieving a file from the internet and saving it as a local file, using the media file selector on an image field, the file is always saved in the root directory of the current default scheme.

The media_internet module should get its destination from the same function which is used by the file_entity module when uploading files on the file/add page.
Especially when this patch is applied to the file_entity module, it makes sense: http://drupal.org/node/1997208
