Hey, zoidberg! Thanks for taking time to report this!
About packages not getting marked as "Downloaded," I am not sure. I will do some testing and report back.
As for the status updating, you currently have to use the method described by Chris above to update your status. However, in the next release (0.92.4), there will be an Edit>Update Status menu entry to do the chore for you. As a matter of fact, the code is already in the stable branch. It will be a while before we release it though.
