This sounds like a great idea! And I'd say what's below is not enough, actually :) For example, it fails in locales that are not English (on French versions of Ubuntu, the Downloads folder is "Téléchargements"), or if users manually customized the name of that folder (I use ~/dls).
How hard would it be to integrate with the xdg-user-dirs standard instead? On many GNU/Linux systems, running "xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD" is enough (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13161226/). This would make eww consistent with Firefox, too (they take the slightly more painful route of parsing ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/xpcom/io/SpecialSystemDirectory.cpp#256)
Cheers,
Clément.
