Letting nautilus do the download ? How ?
I guess it would require to have a special case for the browser view ...
current behavior for not known files (no view for them) is to show a
failure dialog ...
Or where else a nautilus downloader would be used ?
And if it's a special case, would not be better to care of it in the
interested view ?
Nautilus is a filemanager and should not really take care of downloads.
It can copy files from ftp for example, but that is all a different
thing. Downloads are definately up to the browser view, they are not
copy actions like dragging icons.
If you look at IE for example, it has a browser specific downloader,
even if the browser is very integrated with the file manager.

Well, you may be right ... but I'm not able to understand how the thing
would work in that way ... prolly my fault.
