The folder action script watches my download folder for downloads performed by

useless.

I guess Jon's 'fileIsBusy' hasn't made it to X but I mention just in case.

Yep, it's in the OS X version (thanks for the nudge) but it doesn't work either (not the way I want it to anyway). ;-) According to the description, it tells whether or not a file is open. Based on my tests with Jon's Commands, Standard Additions and the Finder, a file that is in the process of being downloaded presents a challenge when trying to determine its busy status. <shrug>
