When a download task is done, you can see the Host name at "download status bar"(not sure about the exact name) e.g. downloadfile.com. but when a file is downloading, you can't see it, and there is no Property in context menu. sometimes you want to get a rough idea that where the file is from (why is it taking so long? or whatnot). Currently it only shows the file name when downloading, why don't add "from Host"(only Host will do,no need full url).Changing tooltip to Host will also be acceptable. now the label and the tooltip are the same, it makes no sense. you can directly see it, why need tooltip?
