Perfeito, justamente para o que eu queria!

I like it until the Feb 4 update. After this update it keeps popping up notification when download is completed, which is annoying. And there is no option to turn off the notification. Can it go back to the previous version? Or at least provide an option to turn it off? I just want a silent download. Thanks
