Yes, the download-related support in Conkeror is incomplete, but I am
actively working on it.

This will be dealt with along with the other download-related issues.

The plan is to provide two types of download displays: a display of all
downloads, much like the Mozilla download manager, and also a progress
display for an individual download.  Various preference variables will
control which of these displays are used and when.  Both displays will
support running shell commands, etc. on the downloaded file.
