uGet 2.0.4 is a small bugfix release that implements the ability to save and restore the width of the download column, adds support for preallocating space for downloaded files by applying the posix_fallocate() function on GNU/Linux platforms and the SetEndOfFile() function on Windows systems in the cURL plugin, and adds a compressed 256×256 icon for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
