Answer 1

It depends on how much functionality you want. If you just want to simply list the filenames, use a QListWidget. If you want to list other things like progress, filesize, etc. then you may want to use a QTableWidget. If you want to be able to group downloads under different categories, you can use the QTreeWidget, which will also allow for multiple table cells per row like the QTableWidget.

If you want something fancier like the firefox downloader, you may have to create an item delegate to handle the drawing yourself.

Use the model-view-controller widgets.

QListView
QTableView
QTreeView
