Description Bastien Nocera 2012-05-03 10:26:08 UTC 
A download is on-going in a window, and I would expect that download to continue even without a window to back it. Except that epiphany wants to cancel my download if I close that window.

In contrast, Chrome/Chromium will carry on downloading, even if the window is gone, you'd just get told about closing the application.

We considered this, but figured we'd need to have a UI somewhere to track downloads otherwise it would be too confusing. Chrome has about:downloads or whatever, so I think we should do something similar if we want to separate the download action itself from the UI where it's shown.
