The DL bar works great. I really hated the Bubblebar, drives me crazy. Thanks for creating this addon. However, could you please add a "clear" button so I can click on it to clear the downloads. I hope what I am saying make sense.

Bug with file names. After adding each file a tile with file name 'Unknown' is created. Only if you close download bar and then open it again you can see the names of downloaded files.
