Downloads widget for Windows

The last few things you downloaded, newest first, with how long ago and how big. Double-click to open, hover to reveal in Explorer, or just drag the file out of the widget and into whatever needs it - no Explorer window required. Browser temp files (.crdownload, .part) are hidden until the download completes.
