the way I do it is; command option l, then it says clear. Tab once and you get the downloads, tab once more and that’s where you find ou whether it has downloaded or not. If it says stop then it is still downloading and if it says show in finder then it is finished. If you VO right arrow to the right a few times it should tell you how much it it has downloaded so far.
Also, if you don’t want it to download to downloads, you can go to Safari and command comma to preferences and change a lot of things and one of them is where you want to download to.
