Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When downloading a virtual machine, Quickgui shows a progress bar but no detailed output from the underlying terminal command. If the download fails, it's hard to know why.

Describe the solution you'd like
I’d like to have a button on the download page (e.g. "Show Terminal Output") that expands a view showing the full terminal output of the download process. This would make it easier to identify errors, copy error messages, and understand what's happening in the background.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Manually re-running the command outside of Quickgui to see the error output
  • Searching log files (if any) after the process
  • Using quickget manually (less user-friendly)

Additional context
This feature would be especially useful for power users or for debugging purposes. It could show both stdout and stderr and be collapsible by default to avoid overwhelming regular users. Optionally, users could copy the log content to clipboard for reporting issues.
