Hi, 

I just wanted to download a bunch of files which use URLs like …/download/. When I click them in konqueror, the save as dialog opens and shows me the real name of the file as suggested filename. 

When I instead try to download via Extras → list all links, kget names all downloaded files “download”. 

So I’d love to have an option to have kget automatically use the filename supplied by the server. List all links is extremely useful, and it would be great to have feature parity to the normal save-as dialog for downloads in konqueror. 

Reproducible: Didn't try
