How to see what you are downloading

[macnerdiac]

When i try to download a program say VLC......usually a window pops up and shows me what i am downloading and how fast, estimated time etc., but that window does not pop up anymore so i dont know how long my downloads are and i cant see them?

Does anyone know how i can fix this I would like to see what i am downloading etc. and if its finished or not without having to guess and go looking for it on the HD

thanks

I assume you are using Safari...go to "Window" at the top then click "Downloads" or Option-Shift-L
