What is the difference between:

1) File, Download (Ctrl Shift D)

2) Output tab, Download (D)

Two different queues.
The one reachable via the file menu sits in you user directory, the other in the batches directory.

The (D) one can be used via a right-click menu in the file browser.
The one via the file menu is configured to ask for a source folder.

That explains it. Is there any way to get the one in the batches directory to ask for a directory?

Why would you? The prime goal is to be able to point to a directory in the file browser and download that. In the end it is just another batch definition.

The key difference to the one on the file menu is that the file menu pops up a dialogue asking for a source before running the queue, as the queuing system does not have the provisions to ask for the source.

If the behavior of the file menu download queue does not fit your needs after the asking step, you could just modify that queue (it is a text file, should be easy to figure out).
