download file on dock

I lost my download file on my dock. I went to finder, found the download file, dragged and dropped it to the dock. Then I wanted to set is as a fan view, but when I right clicked on new download file in the dock, I do not get fan options. Instead a right click only produces two options: Open downloads or Options>. I hoped to find the fan option by clicking Options>, but the only choices I the had were Remove from Deck, Open at Login, or Show in Finder. How can I get the fan view back?

It doesn't sound like you added the correct Download folder to the Dock. Remove whatever it was you dragged to the Dock. Then, press "command shift h", drag the Download folder located there into the Dock on the right of the vertical line next to the Trash. It should then behave normally.
