Where files go before the download is complete






















If you select the Save option, you can specify where to save the file, including the desktop , Documents folder , or any other location. You can also find your Downloads folder in any File Explorer window. Or, as pictured below, you can click the File Explorer icon on your Taskbar. In your File Explorer window, navigate to your Downloads folder using the shortcut in the left pane or by clicking Downloads under other headings, such as Frequent Folders.

Create a shortcut to your downloads folder to quickly get access to it from the desktop. See: How to create a Windows shortcut. Then, click Downloads in the left pane. You can also access your downloads using the link on the Dock. In the lower-right corner of the dock, click Downloads. Your most recent downloads spring out of the dock. Android phones and tablets include an app called Files or My Files , depending on the manufacturer. The app displays all files on the device, including those downloaded, listed in chronological order.

The Files or My Files app is in the app drawer. Run the app, extension, or other file type. After Internet Explorer runs a security scan, the file will open and run on your PC.

Cancel the download and go back to browsing the web. You can also save smaller files—like single pictures—to your PC. Right-select the picture, link, or file you want to save, and then choose Save picture or Save target as. Download Manager keeps track of pictures, documents, and other files you download from the web.

Files you've downloaded are automatically saved in the Downloads folder. You can always move downloads from the Downloads folder to other places on your PC. To view files you've downloaded while using Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer, select the Tools button, and then select View downloads.

You'll be able to see what you've downloaded from the web, where these items are stored on your PC, and choose actions to take on your downloads. Open Internet Explorer, select the Tools button, and then select View downloads.

In the View Downloads dialog box, select Options in the lower-left. Choose a different default download location by selecting Browse and then selecting OK when you're done. Internet Explorer uses add-ons such as Adobe Reader to view some files in the browser.

Usually, these issues result in high latency or lag , which in turn cause your download to fail. One solution is to clear the temporary Internet files under the History section in your browser and try the download again. If you have a broadband connection, and connect to the Internet through a router, the Internet connection may be unstable. Issues with Internet connectivity and the stability of the connection can cause downloads to fail, especially if the Internet connection is interrupted.

When an Internet connection is unstable, it may disconnect and reconnect intermittently. Even a disconnection lasting a fraction of a second can cause the failure of a file download. For users who commonly encounter intermittent connectivity issues or download failure, a download manager may help. For example, a music player app such as Windows Media Player might download your online-only music files to play them.

When an app downloads online-only files, you'll get a notification that shows where it's downloading them from and how many it's downloading, as well as the download progress. Do nothing, or dismiss the notification. If the download is expected and all's well, let the notification go away on its own after the download completes. Or, select the arrow in the upper right of the notification to move it to action center. Cancel the download.

To put the brakes on a download that's already started, select Cancel download , then select Cancel download again to confirm. Block the app. Don't want the app to download online-only files?
