I just installed the latest Safari updates and now on IRV2 it downloads a file named "current.dms" when I first log on and then when I move around the site.

What's up wit dat?

I don’t know what’s up wit dat ,however I’d start by clearing history and website data in the Safari settings. I’ve done this to solve other issues. Let me know if you need instructions on how to do this.

Thanks for the report. we're looking at this but think it is related to a long standing bug in safari.. You can read more about this here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads...nloads.2080108

I'll post up more if I can find some help for you.

Well...it stopped doing it. LOL I didn't do anything to "fix" it.

I had looked up this DMS thing and it seemed mostly reported when folks were intentionally downloading files and Safari renamed them to DMS. It is an Atari thing...go figure that one out. LOL

Anyway, this was happening as I logged on and when I was changing threads. I wasn't intentionally downloading anything. I would see 3 or 4 downloads at the same time. I had read that in some cases it could be related to ads.

I'll still clear out the cache to see if anything happens. OH WELL!
