I don't know if there is something like this available (its kind of obvious, but I haven't found it :( ), but I was thinking it would be very useful to have a tool on the caanoo to download from the dl.openhandhelds.org file archive directly, so something like:

you get a listing of categories, browse through the list, you select the game you want to download - program asks for the folder (apps/ games etc) it should put it - the tool then downloads and unzips the file and copies the necessary stuff over (with a bit of intelligence looking for the .ini file in the archive)

This sounds like a thing that is fairly easy using python and one of the pygame GUI toolkits (because of the network modules available for python) - the only thing I am not so sure about: is there an easy way to get the information from the openhandhelds file archive database? in principle you could ofcourse parse the html files, but that would be painful...
 
There was mention of this before and I believe its being worked on
