Improved download manager

	RESTRICTED
	Please do not edit this page without permission; comments should be added to the discussion page.

• Eliminate dedicated downloads window
• Omnipresent downloads status bar
• Media play capabilities from download window, people just want to listen to a track they just downloaded
• WMV plugin detection (Mac) doesn't work, requires manual install
• Don't ask every time, just do the default action for the common file types.
• Since we have tear-off tabs, you can get the old-style download window too
• Current download indicator disappears when download is done (WTF ;)
• Let the OS handle the MIME types, or clone what it currently does (while blacklisting certain things like EXEs)
• If you ask questions all the time, people stop paying attention
• rive-by downloads (show dialog if drive-by)
• “Open With” (Save As?) is how you get to adjust location/options
• Cursor will show file type (and protocol in the case of mailto: etc) to counter "the land mines of the internet (PDF, mailto, iTunes store links)
• At the end of the download progress bar, “what happens next?” is shown
• Make the download manager behave like a file system window (copy/move works, rename), show where it's located.
• If file is deleted, remove it from download log
• Downloads should be in history! Give option to just show files in history
• BitTorrent support
• Content-MD5 support
• No warning when download in progress and you quit the browser
• Support Content-MD5 for downloads

Feedback from presentation:

• Detect duplicates, tell you that you already have this file (MD5 can supercharge this)
• Why do we have a download manager? Can't it just be history with a Downloads/Files filter?
• Open doc/PDF inline, but give option to save to disk — people generally just want to read stuff, not put junk in their download folder
