This is amazing, whoever feels comfortable about it should band together and see what files are in common, or domains. I want to delete this yet I don't. This contains all (most?) of the files I have ever downloaded, those I thought I lost when clearing browsing data from 2008.

My first few files

* Symantec_Antivirus_Mac.dmg

* http://msdn01.e-academy.com|http://download.e-academy.com/do... (MSDN Alliance: Free Microsoft Software for Students)

* http://download2.vmware.com/software/fusion/VMware-Fusion-1....

* http://download.skype.com/macosx/Skype_2.7.0.330.dmg

Scary yes (The torrent files) but so much history to look at.

    sqlite3 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEvents 'SELECT datetime(LSQuarantineTimeStamp + 978307200, "unixepoch") as LSQuarantineTimeStamp, LSQuarantineAgentName, LSQuarantineOriginURLString, LSQuarantineDataURLString from LSQuarantineEvent' | sort
Ordered by date

That's actually how I felt about the iPhone coordinates database (also in SQLite I believe)...I saved a copy of it before upgrading to the iOS that didn't have that "feature"
I guess this should help disabling. But I can't confirm as I'm not near my Mac test this.

  sudo launchctl -w com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEvents[.plist]
