You've wandered into the forum for Apple's defunct office suite AppleWorks: you should ask in the forum for your operating system.

First Mac OS X doesn't need defragged. If your harddrive is ~80% full heavy downloading could hurt disk performance but I'd say you're in the clear. If Apple considered defragging a necessity they would have included it into Disk Utility.
