Provide visual indicitation that a download has started and how it's progressing

[mrkristiansson]

It would be really convenient to get some kind of visual indication when a download start in the desktop browser. Right now therer's no visual token indicating that a download has started, so I often find myself clicking on download repeatedly, resulting in multiple downloads
