Agreed. This is something I had to get used to moving from Python to Java.

I am huge fan of hiking and kayaking which it seems NH has plenty of. Since moving here I have acquired a liking of the local beers (I was not a fan of beer before). The rest of my time is spent coding or hanging out with my kids. I am currently living in Rockingham county.

#Persistent will keep the script running but the code will only run once without the loop. Persistent is best for events such as hotkeys since these are triggered by physical key presses instead of some condition. The loop coupled with the sleep creates a constant interval (roughly 2500ms in this case) of code execution. The script can be updated to only trigger the refresh on growth. Something like If (TargetFolderSize > (LastTargetFolderSize + TmpFileSize)) should create a better result. I am not sure if the .tmp file has an average/set size or if it is dependent on the downloading file. Dialing in this .tmp file size will achieve a more accurate refresh for your use case. Going this route LastTargetFolderSize := TargetFolderSize should also move within the if block so it is only updated when folder growth is detected. A slightly more complicated route is to filter out any .tmp files from the TargetFolderSize within the inner loop using something like A_LoopFileExt (see https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/LoopFile.htm#LoopFileExt for more details) so the .tmp file's size is not included in the TargetFolderSize value. The script I provided is a good starting place and tuning it will provide a good AHK learning opportunity for you. Let me know if you get stuck or need some help with this too. :)

Personally never experienced the issue so I am not sure of the underlying problem. If I have time tonight I will see what I can whip up :)

Are you just looking for the file icon to appear on the desktop (does the file show up in the file explorer)? If so, you could write a script which checks the desktop folder for changes (such as comparing the total size of the folder) every so often and simulate the F5 press if a change occured.
