 Could TorButton check whether a download is in progress and, if so, give
 the user a choice whether to proceed?

 It currently seems to be assumed that cancelling & clearing the download
 is acceptable.  It doesn't provide any feedback to the user about this
 assumption either - their downloads just disappear.

 As a simple fix, couldn't we just present a popup and clear this behavour
 with the user before creating the new identity?

 "Choosing a new identity at this time will cancel your current downloads.
 Do you want to proceed?"
