For example, whenever we download pictures and torrents, the download tab will update, so whenever we want to view or use the torrent, we go directly to the download tab.

However, after 23rd June, for no reason, all new downloads do not show up on the download tab. I have to manually open the download folder to search for the files or torrents. May I know the reason why this happen or any way I can reverse this?

Thanks to you I've figured out what I was doing wrong/different. I started this habit of clearing my recent history, I simply had to uncheck the browsing and download history box.

Thanks again.
