When the user is downloading, we should only display a link to pause a downloading entry. The cancel link shouldn't be displayed on a downloading entry since the user might accidentally click on it and cancel the download. Instead Cancel should only appear on a paused entry.

However, all of the download control commands (pause/resume, cancel and restart) should be available on the context menu and the user should be allowed to select multiple entries and apply actions on them.

There should at least be an option in about:config to restore the Cancel button, since to many Firefox users this is not a major problem.

One more important thing: Do NOT restart the download of a currently downloading entry if the user clicks a link and saves it _again_. For example, start downloading file A.
