	EDIT: Solved, I repaired permissions and it seems to have fixed it. I have been using safari to download to the desktop for 3 years now. Recently a problem has come up. I will begin a download. It shows up in the downloads window. It completely finishes downloading. However, on the desktop it shows the file as 95% completed with the .download extension. If I click on this file, it dissapears but the downloaded file does not appear on the desktop. If I search for it I find it and eventually it appears on the desktop. I tried making a different download folder and downloads work like normal there, it seems to be onlyl a desktop problem. Does anyone have any ideas? (Last edited by slffl; Mar 6, 2006 at 11:50 AM. )
