Once the download API will be implemented, maybe such an Extension could exist. http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/downloads-api <http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/downloads-api>The only thing missing that I see is path where the download will be saved. Maybe bring that up in the extensions mailing list. Its still a proposal, so anything could happen.
