I'm trying to sort out the different issues that you found:
- when adding a download (via drop target or anything else), the download is
not queued automatically
- when dropping a URL onto the drop target, you get the new-transfer dialog
- when leaving the target directory as is in the new-transfer dialog, or
specifying just a directory instead of a directory + filename, then a
filedialog pops up, asking you for the filename (and optionally directory) not
even taking the filename of the url you want to download into account

I see the following options to fix the last two problems:
- fix the new-transfer dialog by not displaying a directory as target, but
directory + filename (where the filename is by default derived from the source
url)
- do not display the new-transfer dialog, but the plain file dialog, which
provides the same options with less clicks

The latter option would also spare us from fixing other issues in the
new-transfer dialog
- doesn't remember the last used directory
- appears to provide a history for the target (it's a combobox), but there's
always just one entry with the current target url
- does not provide auto-completion
