Method and device for determining downloaded file address

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and a device for determining a downloaded file address. The method comprises the following steps: receiving an instruction of searching for a downloaded file; after the instruction of searching for the downloaded file is received, acquiring download path relevant information from a download tool, and / or acquiring the download path relevant information from third-party software, wherein the third-party software is software outside the download tool; and determining the downloaded file address according to the download path relevant information. The download path relevant information is acquired from the download tool, and / or the download path relevant information is acquired from the third-party software, so that a basis for determining the downloaded file address is obtained. Running of a special monitoring program is not needed, and special recording of the downloaded file is not needed, so that dependence on the monitoring program is eliminated. Thus, the address of the downloaded file can be determined accurately and comprehensively, and occupation in system resources is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a method and device for determining the address of a downloaded file. Background technique [0002] After many users use the computer for a period of time, the remaining space on the hard disk (especially the system disk directory, usually the C disk directory) is getting smaller and smaller, so the computer freezes and the response speed is slow. A large part of the reason is that the disk space is occupied by downloaded files. [0003] In order to improve the computer response speed, users have an urgent need to manage or delete these files. However, users usually do not know where their downloaded files are stored, so it is necessary to solve the problem of how to determine the storage address of the downloaded files. [0004] A download file is a file downloaded or transferred through a download tool. Download tool is a general term for tools that download data informati...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] The method of monitoring user download behavior has the following problems: it needs to run the monitoring program to occupy system resources, which will cause computing pressure for terminals with relatively weak data processing capabilities such as mobile phones; in addition, files downloaded outside the monitoring time period, Unable to determine the download address; again, with the passage of time, more and more records of downloaded files will be recorded. In addition, if users use software that is not related to monitoring software to delete in batches, the records of downloaded files will be inaccurate and errors will occur
