DOWNLOAD THE NEW SAFARI FOR MAC UPDATE
Let us wait for Apple to provide an update for the fixing unknown file download bug. The bug was again introduced in the new Safari version 12.0.1. Unknown file download bug is not a new one to Safari for MacOS Mojave alone, but users who are using older versions were also facing the problem, however, Apple fixed it in the next update.

Apple, at least in the next update should be fixing this bug on Safari. Next time if Safari crashes your cache stored for that website, you will again end up in unknown file download. That's it! Your website is loaded without the unknown file download. Click on Develop and press Empty Cache.Now your menu bar will display a new menu "Develop".Under the Advanced tab, check on Show Develop menu in menu bar.To fix unknown file download on Safar for MacOS Mojave, I did a simple workaround. When I open the file with TextEdit, the file does not contain any content. The cache of the frequently visited website sometime crashes in Safari and next time when I request for that website, the Safari downloads an unknown file with 0 bytes. If I feel like the website hasn't updated, either they haven't really updated or I had to press Command + R to reload the website so I will be getting the live version of the website. Safari caches it and it pulls that website for me at lightning speed. Let's say I am visiting a website quite often. I do not have the habit of bookmarking websites that I frequently visit or if I know the URL very well. There were several bugs in the browser but one bug appeared critical to me. However, the Safari for MacOS Mojave disappointed me by introducing few bugs. Safari is fast and websites load smoothly every time with minimal use of power. Recently when I tried to visit some website, an unknown file download occurred on my browser. It's all in the hands of the developer of the website that you are visiting if they have supported this feature. When Apple announced the latest version of Safari on macOS Mojave, I felt little goofy about Apple as they exaggerated about the favicon displaying on tabs, but remember it has the ability to show you two different favicons when the favicon is dark or when it is light. Safari is a light-weight, fast and secure browser with lots of continuity and sync features when it is used inside the Apple ecosystem. If you are inside the Apple ecosystem, you probably should be using Safari browser across all your devices.
