Hello: i am mac 10.6x/Firefox 17.0.1

Is there a way to get a "logging/history record" of a download that has just completed.

I have 2 downlaod problems

1 >) am trying to see why speed changes during a download, average speed used, total time DL took i have a 900mb file from a filehost and it starts at 34kb/s then after 1.5hr goes to 300-400 kb/s. my broadband is much faster than this. it gives me 800+ reguarly when my friend dl this same file from same filehost, (different ISP of course), she gets 1000+ she is using IDM (internet download manager) to download as she is on windows.

2) > the data being consumed per ISP is 3 times size of file being data loaded.

so I wonder his there a historical tracking method in Firefox... so i may begin to troubleshoot my problem download speed and excessive data usage (e.g. file size is 900gb but using surplus monitor it showed 3gb was used)

thankyou in advance

You can use the SQLite Manager extension to generate a list.

  1. Open Profile Directory -> downloads.sqlite -> Go
  2. Hit the Execute SQL tab
  3. Use a Select like this:
SELECT datetime(startTime/1000000,'unixepoch') AS startTime,name,source AS url,target,currBytes AS bytes,((endTime-startTime)/1e6) AS time,currBytes/((endTime-startTime)/1e6) AS speed
FROM moz_downloads
ORDER By startTime DESC
