I migrated my files and folders from my old Mac to my new one, but the downloads didn't migrate. What should I do differently?

If you downloaded stuff and subsequently installed the app or whatever, then the downloaded file should have been placed in the trash. That folder is just a temporary parking place until things are installed/moved to the right place. So, I'd guess that is what was done; if there is something missing, just download it again.
