You can copy the path of the download from the download progress dialog
*and* the download manager - just right-click the link being downloaded
and select 'Copy Download Link'.

I do it all the time to copy & paste the link to gwget where I can
control the download rate. I start the download, copy the link, stop the
SM download as it has no rate/bandwidth control, and instead use gwget.

Here is a sample of a link that was copied from the download manager
(download was complete):
http://ftp.df.lth.se/mozilla/seamonkey/releases/2.0/linux-i686/en-US/seamonkey-2.0.tar.bz2

IMO 474640 should be closed as 'resolved'.

Regarding the size of the buttons; very much agree. There was a dission
over on the mozilla.support.seamonkey group prior to the release of SM
2.0. Maybe they'll be adjusted in 2.0.x.
