New description:

 Brian's New Downloader (#287, #288, #798, #800, #990), and subsequently
 Brian's New Visualizer (#1200) also offers a download status page with a
 great deal more information than the old one. Although it is really good
 to have all this information available, it is rather cryptic. This ticket
 is to update the documentation in [source:docs/frontends/download-
 status.rst] explaining what all the fields mean.

 See also #1265 which is about adding labels and documentation onto the web
 page itself.
