Automatically close Safari's download window

As a long-time Mac user, I'm also a fan of Safari. I think it works much better with the OS X interface on a visual basis than alternative browsers such as Firefox, although I do like the customisation options that Firefox supports.

One of the annoying niggles of Safari that I find, however, is that whenever you download a file, you then have to manually close the download window. It's just a little thing, but it's a pain in the ass.

So, when I read about a program called Glims, I thought I'd give it a go. And you know what? It works perfectly on Safari 3.1 OS X 10.5. A brilliant little tool; there's a bunch of other features that I haven't checked out yet, but the fact that the download window auto closes was enough for me. You can even specify how many seconds after downloading ends to close the window.
