How do I find a list of pending downloads? Itunes 11.0.1.12

On the older versiosn (10.x and earlier), if you had multiple things waiting to download, you could see on the sidebar, a "Downloads" label. Click on that, and you could see what was waiting, pause certain items, etc.

I have had zero luck finding anything like this on the new piece of crap they call 11.0.1.12 (Note: it should not take multiple searches to find out how to find the menu bar and sidebar when those are features that are, well, ESSENTIAL). But I digress.

In any case, on my laptop I can still see what's waiting to download. The most I can see with the new version is at the top, where it say "downloading xx items" and the *current* file that's being downloaded.

There are times where I might need to prioritize things - say a large download was blocking others. Or turn simultaneous downloads on or off.

I've looked on this forum and the rest of the web and this doesn't seem to be addressed anywhere.

Windows Vista, iTunes 10

Yeesh. I *finally* noticed on the iTunes main window, to the right of "search library", a downward-pointing arrow - which when clicked brings up the Downloads list.

Apple, WHYYYYYYY is this hidden? I know, it's not truly "hidden" but it's in such a non-obvious, nonsensical location, which bears no relation to how a long-term user would typically try to find something.

No more iTunes updates for me - I don't want to try to figure out what you'll ruin next!
