1) it would be good to homogenize the aesthetic / appearance of the filter bars on the left between say, continuous and event downloads.
1.5) continuous data needs to have waveform filters at the final step as well, even if it's sort of redundant. people may not have meant to want to download everything in their original station search, or might change their mind, or only want to do one channel at a time, etc
2) waveform filters should always have all four: Network, Station, Location, Channel, same as the station filters
3) in general i think it is more robust to keep the filters as text boxes (rather than pull-down selections) with the defaults pre-populated (e.g *, or ?H?,?N?), at least for the "smaller" fields like location and channel. i think this makes these more useful tools and teaches users how it all works. it gets a bit more messy to also have network and station as text boxes because they can potentially get pretty long and these selections are fundamentally done in the station map selection page anyway.
