Queue Download Without Starting

With the existing inability to throttle downloads, as soon as I start downloading something, trying to add more games to the download queue (or browse the store for that matter; do you want us to buy things?) becomes bogged down, taking much longer to open the panel to download.

Could be resolved one of two ways:

1. (Preferred Method) Add an "Add to Queue" button to the drop-down on the game's entry in the library. Clicking this adds the game to the queue without starting the download. Then when the queue is expanded, there would be a Start Queue button in there that will initiate the downloads at once, in the order of the queue, and can be halted with the Pause All button if the user needs the bandwidth for something else or needs to reboot (combining this with the wishlisted option to save a queue between shutdowns would be great). The open source Xtreme Download Manager does all of this very well and is what inspired me to suggest it here.

2. Add a "Download Now" link directly on the menu for the game in the list that bypasses the bogged down confirmation screen. This way, while I still wouldn't have queue management options, I could at least throw more things in the queue without waiting for the popup dialog.

Comment burried. Unhide. .

I just learned that this might not be necessary. Hitting Pause All does stop all current and future downloads. I didn't know it would prevent newly added games from resuming the queue. This accomplishes what I was after, if in a less obvious way.
