Solution #1: Manage downloads in the dash
Written by rbn the 28 Feb 13 at 15:51.
Instead of using an extra small window for managing your downloads, the dash could be used for it:

→The user clicks on a file in his webbrowser

→Is asked, if he want to download or to open the file

→The dash opens, the progress of the currently active download is shown, buttons to stop or to cancel would be there, too

→The user could easily continue working while the dash is hidden, if he would check the progress, he could just press SUPER and the dash would open, showing the status of the download
