How can I copy the URL of a file downloaded by Google Chrome?
As a new Mac user, I'm surprised to see that Chrome doesn't track the list of downloaded files anymore. I can't even see the current download speed in the Finder.
I want to copy the URL of a file being downloaded, because I want to download it from another machine, in turn because the network I'm currently connected to is just too slow. How can this be done?
Solution 1:
Selecting the file and doing Command+i will bring up the file's Info. Under the More Info section you'll find the Where From information, which is the URL where the file was downloaded from.
Solution 2:
The terminal equivalent would be:
xattr -l download.zip
or for all files in a dir (with .
being the current dir):
xattr -lr .
xattr's output is not easy to copy since it displays the data as binary.
For copy-paste friendly output use mdls:
mdls -name kMDItemWhereFroms -raw download.zip
