Bug Description

As shown in the official Gnome-Boxes documents and screenshots on Wikipedia, Gnome Boxes has the ability to download popular free Linux distributions directly from in-app, but when I go and download Boxes and try it in real life, I have yet to find that feature... What is going wrong here?

Pretty sure that this feature doesn't do in-app downloads, but rather is just showing images that are already in your "Downloads" folder. Even the text below says "...software products you have already obtained...".
