Do canceled downloaded files get stored to HD?

Say you were downloading a file in Safari and the download process gets canceled, does the file discard itself or takes up space on your hard drive?

Yeah, it does. They'll be in the same place as your downloads end up when they're done. They'll be safari files.

Sometimes. I usually find files with random names and an extension of .part. They can simply be deleted. I think Firefox can resume from those if you tell it to retry a download. Safari might be able to do something similar. A possible reason as to why they aren't deleted automatically.

I think if you don't remove the file from the download list you can resume

True. the extension is .download i think on the incomplete safari downloads, though.
