Bug Description
In the terminal, Woof already notifies its host when someone initiates download from it. The requesting IP is shown.
Such a notification should also be created via libnotify-bubbles. They could simply state "''filename.abc' is being downloaded" or also show the IP of the downloader - if that doesn't make things to confusing for endusers.
Via this notification, users can expect Woof to perform its duty & then close. As long as there is no notification, users are left in the dark as to if the file they are sharing has already been accessed. Woof's trayicon vanishing without a visible confirmation that the file was successfully downloaded might even be perceived as a program-crash.

The status-messages that can be viewed in the terminal are coming from the invoked webserver. Research is needed if and how these messages can be sent through pynotify in order to become notification-
