Hm... I agree with Rich, in disliking this approach (I mean: they
*aren't* actually read...), but I don't really have a constructive

Having them clumped, and visually separate, would be very useful when
your walking through them, and decide which to down load.  They could
enter their normal threading position, after downloading.
