hi,
This addon has really usefull features, that could be replicated to use with Conkeror (or any of the others). However, my question for the developper is: would you be interested in turning your downbar into a fullblown commandline tool? This would be one of the last pieces of the puzzle to avoid clicking, as a plugin for Vimperator (or..), or as a new feature, a third UI option for the Download Status Bar. Don't get me wrong: the present UI is absolutely elegant. But please consider below thoughts.

The "right click on a download item" action could become a single line auto-suggestion commands like `:dl setup.exe -pause`or `:dl setup.exe -yankurl' where both the download item and the context menu action param are completed (where no param means open);
Providing an extra item for the 'status' option, which would display the number of active/completed downloads when not in EX mode (I.E. typing a command), so no need to include an extra panel on the statusline;
It would be awesome if the popup information (without preview image) where to be continuously updated as a multi-line command message after typing something like `:dl setup.exe -show` or `:dl -show` until escaped;

anyway GREAT addon!, cheers,
Bart
