Just don't Option (or right) click on a link to a file to download - and
designate a different folder to download it into. There is a chance that
Safari will rename the file (especially dmg files) the same name as your
root directory. Then when the file is downloaded it will wipe out your
entire directory when it is supposed to only erase the original downloaded
file.

Nice!
