How to make an image downloader like Wordpress?

Question

I would like to implement an image downloader similar to what the latest Wordpress offers (3.2.2 at the time of writing). However, I am struggling to add backups for browsers that do not support multiple file downloads, drag and drop features, etc.

Ideally, I want this functionality to work without having to refresh the page every time. I have done a lot of Googling, but everything that seems to me works only in a few specific browsers.

Can anyone recommend any open source projects that allow you to use such download features?
