Hi, Not sure if I'm just missing something, but I'm fairly sure that Safari has these features built right in as well. When you begin downloading a file, press cmd-option-l to open the Downloads window. When you Interact with the Table, you can then Interact with each download to determine its status. When within a given download, you can Stop/Pause it, Resume it once again etc. Once a download has been Stop/Paused, you can clear it if you wish. You also can set how long items remain in the downloads manager from within the General pane of Safari Preferences. They can stay there until you manually delete them, be removed when you Quit Safari or be removed upon successful download. Safari used to automatically pop up the Downloads window when you started a download but stopped this behaviour in Lion, I believe. Pressing cmd-option-l brings up the window anyway so it's no matter to me.
If this isn't what you were looking for, sorry. Later...
