I'm the org-download author. I've mentioned these things on the tracker,
but there's no harm to posting here additionally.

I don't have OSX, so I can't test it. However, it should work in
theory, since all tools used are portable.

Try using `org-download-yank' first: this one does everything except
drag-and-drop. Just right click and copy the image url in the browser,
and call `org-download-yank' in Emacs. If it doesn't work, the issue is
with dnd, otherwise it's with the downloading itself.

The default `org-download-backend 'uses `url-retrieve', which is a part of
Emacs, so if it doesn't work then it's an Emacs bug.

regards,
Oleh
