This can be become an annoyance, especially when small files are opened directly - the "downloads complete" message can switch you back from the program your download spawned in back to firefox. | This can be become an annoyance, especially when small files are opened directly - the "downloads complete" message can switch you back from the program your download spawned in back to firefox. | ||

bittorrent
What about implementing bittorrent as a download mechanism? See bug 236755
limiting simultaneous downloads
With reference to the limit on simultaneous downloads (and cross-referencing to some discussion I saw about preferences) there could be a simple option which sets these limits with a simple slider bar on which the browser optimises these settings based on the maximum download bandwidth they want to use.
downloading of huge files
Support downloading of files larger than 2 GiB. See bug 184452.
Most Linux distributions offer a dvd images for installation. It would be nice to load these without any extra fuzz.
Option to disable notification of downloads complete
This can be become an annoyance, especially when small files are opened directly - the "downloads complete" message can switch you back from the program your download spawned in back to firefox.
There is already a hidden pref to do this. Go to about:config and change the pref "browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete" from true to false.
