Richard I was thinking more in terms of the page / overlay appearing
*after* the user starts a download. We could use wording like this:

"Your freshly baked copy of QGIS is downloading. QGIS is free of charge,
and will always be free of charge if downloaded from QGIS.org. If you can
afford to support the project and people making this software, please
consider making a small donation to support our efforts. Whether you choose
to donate or not, we hope that you enjoy using our labour of love and
encourage you to share and spread your downloaded copy far and wide so that
others may enjoy it too. Our very best regards!

The QGIS Team"

Tim
