I really love this design , I have some feedbacks here:

 

1) I really missed the shield icon in Microsoft Edge, as we all know all downloads will be checked by SmartScreen filter and I hope it show icon like it has been checked and it is safe like a green shield. 

 

2) Sometimes we have a case like we download a file and then manually deleted it and current behavior is like file deleted when click on it. It would be nice like we have a button when click on it, it check for existence of all files and if any file missing automatically show it has been deleted. Right now user must click on it to see if it has been deleted or moved. Then another option like to remove all deleted downloads from the list instead of remove them one by one. Currently, user think like download a file and when click on it, it is not there and it is a bit negative experience.
