The new download manager written by Ben has a useful feature that will pop up a
warning dialog if you try and quit the application when downloads are in progress.

However, I think the wording on the dialog is poor.

It says:
"If you exit now x downloads will be canceled. Are you sure you want to exit?"

Then has two buttons
"Cancel x downloads" and "Cancel"

Where 'x' is the number of current downloads.

Having two cancel buttons I could imagine would be confusing to many people. I'm
not sure the best way to word it, but I'll throw a few suggestions into the pot:

Simply "Yes" and "No" as the question was 'Are you sure you want to exit?'
"Cancel x downloads" (is the number of downloads needed on the button?) and
"Continue downloading"
"Quit" and "Continue"

I'm assuming 'canceled' is the correct spelling in US english (it's 'cancelled'
in the UK), I've never actually noticed before how it was spelt in the US.
