Can the download/update dialog be changed to non-modal?

It would be really great if the download / update dialog box were non-modal or a separate window so that I can chat and tell my friends that I'mm downloading an update. Also if I cancel one file download could it cancel them all?

Not much, it's basically a matter of taste.
