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
