This is my workaround for now, but Copy as cURL doesn't preserve the output filename given by the server. Not to mention it's a bit of a pain in the butt.

Adding -O usually takes care of that. I'm using curl with -L -O over wget now.

Are you missing having it in the context menu?

The download prompt mostly. Although the context option was sometimes useful it wasn't very reliable. Sites often don't give you direct links to download files that the context menu would help with.
