You can only really tell from the history of whatever app downloaded it. Unless you've got something very special like a logging firewall or something (you might have that in a commercial context)

Just curious....the IT tech could trace the link where I downloaded a program(Java-based) that we use in our workplace to process CC payments. I was sent the download link from the actual company that owns the software, but she didn't need it. This amazed me. How can you tell the <a href="http" rel="ugc">http</a>: address where a program is downloaded from? She didn't look in history. Of course, my computer is on a network, so I don't have rights. I would like to learn, not hack. Thanks in advance.<br />

This could be useful to find where programs install themselves on my home computer without my knowledge.....yes/no????

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
