Related to your problem, this is why I like Safari in the OS 10.6.8 flavor.

Press command option L to open the downloads window.  Paste in the URL for whatever.  Watch it download.

Lion's moving of Downloads from the Window menu to Views angers me greatly.

Hey Alex,

Yes.  Whoever came up with this miscreant bit of UI is a villain indeed.

But Apple did back the Cmd-Opt-L keyboard shortcut in Safari 5.12 or 5.13, and you can still paste urls into it.  It's just ugly and in the way now, and it has a bug in how it handles the completed-download stack.

I wonder if Chrome or FF will allow it to download in your setup.

For those who want a bit more muscle:

Leech ($14.00) - I liked it enough that I bought a copy after the Safari downloads window debacle.

Progressive Downloader (freebie) - I'm quite impressed with it.

Both of these will accept pasted links and both are scriptable, although I haven't tried working with PD yet.

Best Regards,
Chris
