This won't help for ftp, where I really have to see the first data block
before I can ask the user and establish the download.
I could just abort the download and start it again into the file.  Yuck.
Or just not put it in the background, since as I say,
I don't think that's a big plus.
I've got 11 other consoles to play with.
Personally I'd rather keep it foreground and see the progress dots.
Playing with it a bit, I really miss the dots.
We don't have to do everything the way other browsers do.
I guess I would vote to scrap the background part.
The real plus here is sending data straight to disk,
especially when files are significantly larger than ram.

Hmmm. That's not how it worked before, but I imagine it's how
most people would want it to work.
Maybe I'm odd but I never ran into this situation
in all the years of using edbrowse.

Done.

I don't know anything about readline, so can't comment.
