Comment (by drewp):

 What would people think if the 'Recent Uploads and Downloads' link was
 joined by a small, live-updating status display summarizing that page? If
 the welcome page is truly talking to localhost, it may be cheap enough to
 do an ajax request, say, every 2 seconds [1]. The summary would show
 progress bars on currently-running operations, and maybe it would include
 finished ones for a little while just so you don't do a quick operation
 and see nothing at all. Any click for more detail would go to the current
 RUaD page.

 [1] requestAnimationFrame is a hot new technique that can be used to make
 the request every 2 seconds *as long as that part of the page is visible
 to the user*.
