I've made for testing purpose a simple patch that modify - - 
-KHTMLPopupGUIClient::slotSaveLinkAs()
-BrowserRun::simpleSave
I've tested with different site and seams working well (i got only a problem 
trying to download on java.sun.com apparently only "save as" work fine with 
this site..)

I agree with you i will prefer to modify things in KIO:
my idea is to put all download skills in some function KIO::AvancedCopy 
(mirrors,split download, single log, advanced gui, dockable..) and leave just 
the job list management to kget and maybe use dcop for communication...
but for doing this i need more time....and  i would like to publish a working 
version for kde 3.1 so for the moment i will not add new functionality just 
bug fixing, make a decent help, at least 2 translation and remake the 
icons....)

If you agree i will go for the 1st solution patching kthml and kparts for the 
moment and switch for the kio implementation later.
