From what I understand, the tar/gz file has to be downloaded anyways just
to view it in the browser window; it wouldn't be hard to have a:
	Do you want to save locally?
with a checkbox asking
	Always ask this question

For people whose desktop is covered by maximized windows, moving
everything around just so they can download a file is a pain. On top of
that the file goes not into you home directory but into your Desktop
directory, where it's not always clear to look for it. "which <file>" sure
won't find it there. 

I'm not trying to troll/flame here; these are just some issues I have with
kfm. :)

Ian
