The address and date are auto-added as a comment now.
The updated source can be found at https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download

Images can be stored in a custom dir with:

(setq org-download-image-dir "~/Pictures/org")

I still want to add some rescaling option via ImageMagick and
an option for local files.
Other suggestions can be raised as issues on github, so it's
easier to keep track of them.

regards,
Oleh
