I have 32.0.3 on Xubuntu 14.04.1 from the repos. Long ago I added the
Classic add-on and was going to mention it to Rich, but someone beat me
to it. 

In my version I also have the arrow. It becomes slightly animated when
a download is in progress and and the percentage downloaded displays in
tiny characters next to it. Clicking on it brings up a window where I
can see the progress more clearly. Mostly I click on it only after the
download is complete, because then it shows the recent history. Quite
often I download something only to discover that I failed to note the
name of the file and now I can't find it. The window that pops up shows
the most recent file at the top.
