693969 2008-08-01 00:59:00 I have seen large downloads on my internet usage and have the times etc where / how do I find the program or other that was a large size downloaded on my computer. Date was last month. Macs (11171)
693970 2008-08-01 02:48:00 One real basic way, is click start/Search, Select All Files and folders, in the search box type in *.* then look down and expand out "when was it Modified" - select the date, then hit search, it will tell you every thing that was run, downloaded that day Example (www.imagef1.net.nz) wainuitech (129)
693971 2008-08-01 04:18:00 And to filter out everything else except the "larger" files - also click to expand the "what size is it" and select the "specify size (in KB)".

Make sure the dropdown is set to "at least" and enter something like 10000 (which is 10 meg) or more.
