cmd-option-l opens the downloads folder but you have to be in finder in order 
for it to work just as with all finder commands. For instance, cmd-shift-a 
opens applications folder only if you are in finder; cmd-shift-o opens 
Documents folder but only if you are in finder. Cmd-option-l doesn't open your 
downloads progress window and it won't open your downloads folder either if you 
do it from within safari. I don't know if that's what you did but that's a 
possibility. Personally, I think there should be a safari preference to control 
this so you can choose whether the downloads progress window opens when you 
start a download or not. You have two different issues here: opening a window 
in safari (the downloads progress window) and opening the downloads older (a 
finder action and location).
