If I don't clear my Download window in Safari, I can find out by control-clicking on the like-named object and choosing "Copy Address." But since I download so much, I clear out the list with regularity, so then I'm forced to mount the disk image, open it, and then hopefully see something that reveals what it is I've now mounted (Opera, in this example). Enter DownloadComment, from Ecamm Network. This free Safari plug-in saves the address of the download in the Finder's Comments box, making it a quick Get Info away -- just highlight the file in the Finder, hit Command-I, and check the Comments section for the download URL. That's usually enough to remind me of what's behind the cryptic name. DownloadComment installs in your global Library -> InputManagers folder, and includes a simple uninstaller in case you tire of its behavior. It doesn't get much easier than that.
A simple little thing, but quite handy if you download tons and tons of stuff.
