A possible compromise for download of large files to disk is:

space pulls into memory like now.
default file name or entered file name downloads to disk
with progress dots in foreground.
file name with & at the end downloads in background, no dots,
for those who want it and for when it works.
Like the shell, command &
& by itself downloads default filename in background.
