i disagree! i always want to know how much percent are done etc.
to have a manager that would show me that would be great.
this applies to video rendering, audiofile-import, audio rendering, image,
video and audio conversion, practially everything that takes time to finish.

downloads may be seperated or aggregated in a single list item in such a
listing, but i wouldn't omit the other processes because of the special
nature of filetransfers and downloads related to how a desktop user thinks.

but then again, Zeitgeist & Activity Journal will kick off a brandnew talk
about all that, once we all start using or testing them
