I don't think it's really needed, I can download and still surf the web comfortably even with my 56k connection...

It could be implemented by creating a specific download manager to download from Abandonia. While I like your idea and seen specific download managers implemented at other sites it has as a big down point that some users won't be able to access the site downloads anymore because they're behind a restrictive firewall for instance, which is why I would vote against this idea.

@Omu: it's been a while since I used IE, but doesn't the download window already show the time remaining to download the file?

Well if a download takes a lot of time I usually start doing something else (not just surfing, I probably end up playing some games - like Lost Vikings, Asterix & Obelix,...) so in the end I even forget I was downloading stuff until it 'magically' apeares on my desktop,

EDIT: and yes, IE and Firefox show the progerss bar, and IE calculates the time needed to download.

Nice idea, however, things like that don't always work in practice
The amount of scripting needed to pull off something like that would generally reduce site's compatibility and readability. Just wait for another week or so and you'll be in for a surprise
