That is definitely unusual behavior.
Try making sure your downloads folder is showing as List. Then, use CMD + J, 
and review which columns are shown and make sure you are sorting by Date Added 
in descending order.

Hi all,

I just had to retrieve a file from my downloads folder, and noticed something 
strange.  The date for all my downloaded files is August 1970.  Anyone know 
what’s causing this?
TIA,
Donna
