This is certainly a good idea and one that we have considered. A variation
on a theme of this would be to create a system that built this downloading
application at the point you converted your stack into a standalone. Such a
system could be expanding to including an easy way to design stacks that
download media as they go, all of which is something we are considering for
the future.
