downloading files will not work on OSX 12.6

WhenI try to download a file, either;

a momentary "blip" occurs, or
the msg is "stopped".

The same files can be downloaded on Firefox.

Using MacBook Pro 2020, OSX 12.6.

Can't open downloaded file on MacBook Air I'm trying to download and install a file. I can download it but not open it. I am brand new to my MacBook and am not able to navigate smoothly. How and where do I change my download settings to permit opening downloaded files. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Safari not completing downloads Hi, I've just updated my macOS to Sequoia version 15.0.1 and have a problem regarding safari - the problem is that most of the times when I download the file from web ( wetransfer, gmail, stock and etc.. does not matter ) the file itself adds a word "download" in the end, which I can't rename. For example - I've downloaded an .mp4 file and the word "download" is added in the end by itself. The file is useless. If I try to search the file from downloads arrow, as soon as I click the file it says: "Safari can't show the file ___ in the finder because the file has moved since you downloaded it" - But I have not moved anything. Anybody with the same issue? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I'm not sure this is it, but try looking in Safari Preferences, Websites to see if you have blocked that site from downloading.
