In this video we have talked about a known issue in mac as per which, we cant download anything in mac os on my macbook pro irrespective of what browser I us. I tried to download pixelmon and it also froze at 42% but eventually got past it, so it's possible that whatever is being loaded up at 42% is too difficult for your computer. So try to download a simple mod so you can figure out if it's a download thing or an issue with big modpacks being hard on your computer. I was able to download.exe files from download.com, etc. But ever since I got McAfee VirusScan v8.7i from my university IT store (FIU), McAfee won't let me do anything. I need this Audio Editor software for school but I keep getting errors when downloading and when I try to use Iwin, it blocks it.

Why

Safari User Guide

Download music, PDFs, software, and other items by clicking links on webpages.

Important: If a download contains software, an alert appears when you open the item. To be safe, don’t open it if you weren’t expecting a software program or if it’s not from a trusted source.

Download an item

  1. In the Safari app on your Mac, click anything identified as a download link, or Control-click an image or other object on the page.

  2. Choose Download Linked File. (Some webpage items can’t be downloaded.)

    Safari decompresses files such as .zip files after it downloads them.

    Note: If you download an item that you previously downloaded, Safari removes the older duplicate so it doesn’t take up space on your Mac. See Optimize storage space on your Mac.

See items you downloaded

  1. In the Safari app on your Mac, click the Show Downloads button near the top-right corner of the Safari window.

    The button isn’t shown if the downloads list is empty.

  2. Do any of the following:

    • Pause a download: Click the Stop button to the right of the filename in the downloads list. To resume, click the Resume button .

    • Find a downloaded item on your Mac: Click the magnifying glass next to the filename in the downloads list. If you move a file or change the download location after downloading it, Safari can’t find the file.

      Tip: To change where downloaded items are saved on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, click General, then click the “File download location” pop-up menu and choose a location.

    • Clear the downloads list: In the downloads list, click Clear. To remove one item, Control-click it, then choose Remove From List.

      By default, Safari automatically removes an item after one day. To change when items are automatically removed, choose Safari > Preferences, click General, then click the “Remove download list items” pop-up menu and choose an option.
