XUL should really help implement a lot of browser "helper" tools like this.
I think just making a download tab on the sidebar that shows all files that
are currently being downloaded as well as all files that were downloaded in
the past X days would be a great feature. I hate having 4 extra apps in my
task bar for file downloads.
I think the screen shot from icab look great. Is there already an
enhancement bug on this?
