iTunes 12.2 what happened to the downloads window?

I'm running Mavericks with all current updates applied, on a 13" MacBook Pro (2012). After I upgraded to iTunes 12.2 I went to download a previously purchased movie from the iTunes Store.


After selecting the movie I wanted to download from Purchases, I clicked on "Window" up in the iTunes menu bar, meaning to bring up the downloads window so I could track progress of the download (I have only a 3Mbps DSL connection) and discovered that now there's no such option in the Windows menu list. It just shows options to display the iTunes, Equalizer and Mini-Player windows .


So.. ?!? Is there some other way that info on in-progress downloads from the iTunes Store is presented now, and how do I access it?


I have not encountered other issues with the 12.2 upgrade so far. I have regular playlists, Smart ones and Genius ones and they all seem fine. All my tracks still appear to have the metadata I assigned to them. I don't use iTunes match and have not signed up for Apple Music so far, so some of the issues I have been heard about are not on my plate. Just need that missing downloads window or a way to find equivalent information on download progress. Any clues for me?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), iTunes 12.2
