Cannot find downloaded file

Hi all. I recently downloaded several large (>1GB) files to my computer using an online downloader (Bulk Download Application), but I cannot find the files I downloaded. Is there a way to list all of the files in my computer by file size through the Terminal? I feel like I've exhausted all of my options. Thanks!

Unless you changed the default, downloaded files go into the Downloads folder.


Have you searched using Spotlight? You don't need the full file name, a partial will work.


Why get Terminal involved for a simple search?
