I am experiencing problems when I download archives from Safari to the Finder. What happens is that one archive keeps downloading and it never ends. Then when I try to enter to the Downloads folder in Finder it gets frozen.
In order to have it working, I need to restart my Mac.
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

You don't have to restart your Mac. You can simply use
Command-Option-Escapeand Relaunch the Finder app. I have this same problem, but it only happens when I have a Finder window open to the Downloads folder at the same time I download a file in Safari. If the Downloads folder isn't open, the file downloads and all is well. This problem started with OS X El Capitan on a Mac with a clean install of the OS and a disk that checks out with no issues under the Disk Utility.
