Not sure if the feature was omitted with the latest Safari 6 update...


Try this.


Quit Safari. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder


Type this exactly as you see it here:


~/Library/Safari


Click Go


Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.


Relaunch Safari to test.

I noticed this when I upgraded all 3 of my machines to mountain lion gm seed and now retail. The delete .plist file only works cosmetically the once. Something seems to have changed in Safari itself.

There are no magic keypresses or hover areas or options to show this basic and needed statistic - why has it been removed?


Very annoying! I need to monitor my download speeds right now..
