IMO "Save to disk" option is not useless at all. It's needed for kget too.
I have suggested already to put this into RMB menu and bind it to
Shift+LeftMouseButton ( like in Netscape ).

My idea is that when user has configured kget to handle downloads, "Save to
disk " action will pass this URL to kget.
In other case konqueror will simply start the download itself.
