With the new design of DAVE, the download will not be done by the
extension anymore and we will provide a "Direct download" button
(and make power users happy as a side effect).
So my understanding is that this button should use the
".use-mirror-pool" class and that will be enough. And Uzair should
actually *remove* all the download code from the extension instead :)
