Today I was at a restaurant, I looked at my phone and it was downloading something. I never initiated a download so I was concerned. I tried to power off the phone to see if it will stop the download. IT didn't.

When I powered it back up it continued the download. Then started a 2nd download. I have no idea what they are. The little status thing at the top tells me they were fully downloaded.

Is there anyway I can see what has been downloaded to my phone?

The only thing I did beforehand was DL a picture of a mermaid a buddy sent to me just to make sure our phones are working as he sent text's and left voice mails to my phone I never received (something wrong with virgin?)

I really would like to see what was downloaded.

If you press the info. bar at the top, and at the same time (while keeping pressure on the screen) move your finger toward the bottom of the screen it should display the download info you are seeking.
 
I've just had this happen on my V yesterday. All of a sudden, Google Maps just started updating. When I opened the Market app, sure enough,
 
I think it defaults to automatic. You have to uncheck the auto download box while in the app. I have done that to all my downloaded apps and it just notifies me when one is available. I have to manually download if I want it.
