Hmm.. I was under the impression that simple menus would be controlled by the 
UI, not the engine. On the other hand, I can imagine it would be possible to 
write out a simple text asking whether downloading should be allowed from 
that server or not and having the user hit F1/F2 to accept/decline. This 
should definitely be looked into. In this case, we could ship with 
autodownload disabled by default but still leaving the user the case-by-case 
decision.
