I'd really much prefer the old download system whereby one got a little window popped up for each download which disappears for ever when completed (with the option of keeping it until you dismiss it yourself).

The new system is just a nuisance.
Well, you can get almost similar to the old system with Edit -> Preferences -> Downloads and turning on the ask where to save files, and tell it to close the download manager when all downloads are complete.
Not really, it still fills a great chunk of screen with unnecesary information whie it's downloading. Not to mention that any failed ones displace the one that's current until you explicitly delete them.
