Hi... KHTML indeed handles the downloads, not konqueror. After talking to
some people, what I would suggest is that you add a new signal to
KHTMLPart about downloads, and emit it from KHTMLPopupGUIClient::saveURL,
and use it in
whatever you're doing... Though perhaps there may be a nicer API spot to
put it..

There is also a way of seeing all of KIO traffic, via KDirNotify interface
(thanks to ervin for pointing this out), but that'll give you lots of
stuff like loading images, etc., which you don't care about, and might not
give you the saving of downloads in some rare occasions, since in some
instances KHTML can save stuff it previously downloaded from its internal
cache,
