Nice idea... I would suggest mentioning in the installation instructions that FlashGot is a Firefox extension (at first I was confused about that), and that you have to configure FlashGot to "intercept all downloads" to get the desired effect.

this is really cool! Do you think something like this could be done for chromium/google chrome?

Are there any advantages using this approach instead of OpenSUSE's http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/FirefoxIntegration?

opensuse integration doesn't use KIO but firefox download manager...

Aha, I thought that if I see a KDE file dialog, KIO will be used too. Oh well :)
