Would be cool if there was a feature that defines the width and the heigth of
the download manager window to the smallest possible size. so that all downloads
are displayed correct but no white space below the last one.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download something

Actual Results:  
download window was bigger than neccessary

Expected Results:  
fit the width and height to optimal

I think this is somewhat confusing to the end user. Most end users expect the
same download manager window to pop up every time. If it keeps on dynamically
resizing itself, people are likely to get confused.

I'm marking this as Wontfix.

That the download manager opens in its own window is the real confusing thing.
But i dont think if the size changes if you download a second file at the same
time will realy confuse the user.
