I just downloaded a Ubuntu ISO today and wanted to see what time the file was downloaded. I tried viewing the file "properties" feature to see if it would tell me it. The file size, what directory it was saved in, etc. was displayed along with some times in military time format with the following lines:

Accessed: Wed, Oct 18 2017 14:29:30

Modified: Wed, Oct 18 2017 14:29:29

Are one of theses possibly the time I downloaded it? Is so, why are the two different because one is a second behind. I do not remember ever modifying the file what so ever. Thanks!

  • Accessed: the last time the file was read.
  • Modified: the last time the file's content was modified.

Since you haven't modified the file yourself after downloading, the "modified' time should be the time when the download finished.
