I like the idea of a download manager and an upload manager. In both cases we have the same issue - sometimes normal network issues that would make a non-anonymous download fail will also cause Tor downloads to fail.

We need this in Tor Browser in general - I wish there was an easy to use download/upload manager (you know, like the browser itself should be...) that was well integrated in general.
