You could always try searching (Start>Find>Files or Folders) for the filename.

Why the hell does it matter?

If you really need access to a file before it finishes, use getright to download it. Then it saves the file to where ever you are trying to download to. Incomplete files have .getright at the end.

1) Right click.

a better solution, would be to make it ask you where you want to put the file you're downloading..

In windows explorer go to tools>folder options (for xp/2k) or view>folder options (for 9x)

Then go to file types, if it's game demeos it's probably a zip or exe, so select the file type, click advanded then check the box "confirm open after download".

*If i remember correctly, EXE doesnt show up on the list though... but there should be a way to fix that too.

Itd have to be one of the most asked questions of me.
Its a really odd option too.

Confirm open AFTER download... it should be before in my mind.
