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>

hmmm, both 'fileIsBusy' and Akua's '(extended info for x)'s catalog busy
state' work for IE's download files in 8.6.

Hmph! ;-) Maybe it's an OS X issue. I've now spent entirely too much time trying to find a workable solution so I plan to use the file's size to determine when the download is complete.

Thanks to everyone who offered feedback. :-)
