OK, maybe I was thinking faster then explaining. And I misunderstood you a 
bit, too.

I was thinking of a FTmanager as the one seen in FFox (don't ask me why)

You can Hide it, but this doesn't imply cancelling, even though you're 
actually right if your going to say this *is not* something *logical*, but 
let me explain how I intended it:

If you *hid* the FT manager you would have got *right then* an embedded 
progbar in your CW; I don't know why but I answered as I understood there 
were both an embedded progbar and a FT manager at the same time o.o

Probably because I use this extension 
https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/26 if you try it downloading 
some big file you could see what I mean; it is quite cool. The d/l status 
bar is shown only in your browser's current active window, and if you open 
firefox's native d/l manger the status bar is hidden; if you close it (hide 
it) then the progbars come back

Ok, so the FTman would be in a tab. Don you think this would be an 
inconsistency if you chose *not to use* tabs?

If you want aMSN to be "spatial" then maybe you would expect the FTman to be 
in another window (or maybe embedded, it wouldn't hurt the metaphor), if you 
had tabs enabled then another tab for FTman... (as in Opera) IMO might still 
confuse you a bit, but maybe less then if you had tabs disabled :/
