DownloadComment
Where did you get that file?
When you download things in Safari, DownloadComment will put the original URL into the saved file's Spotlight Comments. Now you'll always know where your downloads came from. Keep track of where your downloads came from. The Comments field can be accessed in the Finder by choosing to "Get Info" on a file.
This functionality was part of most browsers on OS 9 but is missing from Safari. DownloadComment brings it back.
DownloadComment v1.1.1 (2/25/06) adds support for Macs with an Intel processor.

Groxx, This functionality already exists (at least in OS X 10.4).
Just do a "Get Info" on the downloaded file and look under "More Info:". There you will find a heading called "Where from:" that contains the originating URL. :)
Definitely agree. This was one of the first things I put on my Mac, after finding it out of sheer luck, and I absolutely love it. Totally transparent, and it adds something that should exist anyway. I've had to find original locations of things before on other people's Macs (and PCs...), and it can be a REAL pain without this.
Plus, why not have info in the comment field? It's handy at times, and takes effectively zero processing to do so.
Indispensable. Apple should bring back this functionality!
