Zotero downloading other documents
I downloaded Zotero and the Zotero connecter to my computer yesterday. This morning, I found that Zotero had downloaded hundreds of javascript files each with a title of a journal or place to find information, such as National Library of Norway. When I open them, it is a javascript script and says it's part of Zotero. My questions are 1) is this actually part of Zotero and 2) will it continue to download files.
Thanks

Zotero stores its translators inside the Zotero data directory (https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#locating_your_zotero_library), and Zotero checks every 24 hours for translator updates which it then download to that same folder.
We should probably move those auxiliary files back to the profile directory and leave only the database and 'storage' files in the data directory.
@gabriella.reynolds: These files are part of Zotero and are going into your Zotero data directory. You can ignore them for now, and we'll see if we can get them out of All My Files (though it's mostly just not a very helpful view).
(In practice, the data directory subdirs might remain semi-active, because we'd probably leave migration/cleanup code in place for years.)
