Describe the project you are working on:
3D traffic educational game, it matters for all projects tho
Describe how this feature / enhancement will help your project:
When downloading a export template from the editor can't close the dialog until it finishes the download (or else the download is lost), as the size is >400MB it takes some minutes, time where I can't work on the project.

Show a mock up screenshots/video or a flow diagram explaining how your proposal will work:
It can be a small download bar at the bottom Or/and a notification when the download has finished.

Untitled Diagram

Describe implementation detail for your proposal (in code), if possible:
I'm not that familiar with godot source code
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?:

Usually I go to godot website, download the export templates and install from file, it works but it is not a seamless experience.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?:
This is a one time use for each godot version. Downloading an addon is a worthless extra step. This can be low priority but I think would be a small welcome addition. If someone is willing to guide me I could code it

well, technically you can open another Godot instance and do it :P

This was implemented by godotengine/godot#48902, closing.

Note that there is currently no progress reporting while the window is closed, but a dialog will warn you that the download will continue in the background unless you explicitly cancel the download.
