Why do you think Synaptic would use the GNOME download manager, when 
currently it already ignores the GNOME proxy settings?

Don't get me wrong, I _like_ the idea of a "file broker" as you call it,

not something that epiphany should be providing (IMNSHO).

I'll try to remember that, but other people actually don't like this. It
