Welcome to Mac-Forums

I believe that is a option of display the downloads folder as a stack or what not. Either CTRL+click or CMD+click on the downloads folder icon and see if you can change the type..I'll play with it once I get home tonight..

Yes Razor is correct. You need to under Options>Display As choose the Stacks and not the folder option.

Well, those links don't work for me, but I suspect the OP wants the icon to look like a folder with an arrow pointing down to a computer. That would be the Display As Folder option.
