"Download complete": how do I learn from WHERE?

[Kevin Killion]

When WinXP finishes a download, the downloading dialog displays
"Download Complete" and gives the name of the host from which the file
was downloaded, e.g., "www.blahblah.com".


THE QUESTION: Is there any log file maintained or other way to
determine the exact address or URL from which the file was downloaded?


(Why do I ask? I am using a "friendly" tool provided by a vendor in
which I click on needed data files from a list presented as a Flash (!)
item in a browser. It downloads only a single file at a time, it takes
forever to get everything I need, and it's prone to human error as I
spend hours in this zombie-like ritual. I want to automate this by
creating a script or program to simply download the files I need
directly instead of going through that nonsense.)

THANK YOU for any advice!

Kevin

The address bar in Internet Explorer indicates the current URL/Site.

But it sounds as though the OP wants to automate a whole bunch
of downloads, and be able to discover later on where, precisely,
each actually came from.

He wants to use a download manger which will keep track of these downloads
for him. There are a few around, but names escape me, Net Transport maybe.

Firefox also remembers the URL from whence a file came, but it doesn't keep
a list you can refer to directly.
