Agreed. Couple minor adjustments to work towards:

- Make the source URL field a combo entry that's prepopulated with some
options, and/or remembers previously entered containers
- Work out a way to get actual download progress output into the dialog, or at
least stdout messages to show some semblance of progress

I'm really not sure how we can handle that at all, in the short term we should
just disable all that UI for the remote case
