you can download an image imported into OMERO from insight.
The blue arrow (See screenshot) will be activated only if you have  
selected the "archived" option at import time.
If the archived option is selected, we will keep a copy of the  
original file. e.g. MyImage.stk

You cannot download a dataset or a project.
If this is a key feature, we can definitely add it.

You can attach files to project/dataset/image etc. (click on the +  
next to attachment See screenshot)

We have turned on only the formats that we can index.
People have asked us to turn on other formats (won't be indexed). This  
will be available in the next versions
The server allows us to attach a thumbnail to a dataset for example
but we didn't have time to implement the functionality in the client and
we didn't have clear requirements from our user base.

Once again, if it is a key feature for you, we can implement it.

Technically, you can,
In this version of the client, we have decided to have everything  
"private"
you will be allowed to make a project public (i.e. group visible)
in the next versions.
