Sorry, that was my entire point, I guess I should have expanded on it a bit. I agree with ubuntu-download-manager as a name, since that's the name developers will be interacting with if they're using our SDK. For example under QML they're importing Ubuntu.DownloadManager and the C++ namespace is Ubuntu::DownloadManager. So the interface being named ubuntu-download-manager seems perfectly natural to me (in fact this was the initial name I proposed for it, before it was suggested that download-manager might be a better name).
