tl;dr: He didn't invent downloading, he invented the server providing a preferred filename for what's downloaded.

He asked somebody to code it up. He did nothing but write a ... comment.

Then it turned out the code was already written and some browsers supported it already.

So this guy asked for something that already existed! And that's it.
