When you download things in Safari, DownloadComment will put the original URL into the saved file's Finder Comments. Now you'll always know where your downloads came from.
The Comments field can be accessed in the Finder by choosing to "Get Info" on a file.
This functionality was part of Internet Explorer on OS 9 but is missing from Safari. DownloadComment brings it back.

Problems with save as... - Version: 1.2.1, 6/7/2008 01:27AM PST
pesce.mirabile
I had to uninstall it: when I used the command "save the document as..." (right button of the mouse) to save images from a site to my desktop, half of the images (their icons) weren't displayed (even if they were normally saved in the HD/...user/..desktop folder). Couldn't see them on the desktop.
URL in Get Info is NOT there by default - Version: 1.2.1, 6/2/2008 01:16AM PST

BatmanPPC says the URL to a saved Safari file is already included in the Get Info window for that file. He must have some other third-party utility to do this installed, since OS X, at least through 10.4.11, has never included this feature, not even in the "More Info" section.
"Where from" metadata change? - Version: 1.2, 8/6/2007 09:02PM PST

Does anyone understand the reason for this change in 1.2?
"Adds download URL to "Where from" metadata in addition to Spotlight Comments."
Safari already adds that kMDItemWhereFroms Spotlight metadata without using DownloadComment, which is deleted when files are copied/moved across volumes or copied within the same volume.
The download URLs that every version of DownloadComment saves as Spotlight (Finder) comments are stored in invisible .DS_Store files, making it relatively easy to unintentionally delete those comments by not using Finder to copy/move the original files (even within the same volume).
There are quite a few other ways both the kMDItemWhereFroms metadata and the comments in .DS_Store files can be accidentally deleted (and likely without immediately realizing it) so I've never relied too seriously on either method for permanently preserving download URLs or any Spotlight comments.
