Sundaram, one of our talented and motivated prospective GSoC students,
whipped up a Chrome extension with Metalink support!

http://bit.ly/chrome-metalink-downloader

details are here:
http://thesundaram.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/metalinks-chrome-extension/

you need to go to chrome://flags/ and enable Experimental Extension
APIs to use this. it was working for me but Chrome updated twice & it
no longer works.

next steps:

release this under an open source license at a public repository
post about it on
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/topics
& see how many features it can have with Chrome's limited experimental
API.

thank you, Sundaram!

Metalink Downloader, a Chrome extension, is available from http://code.google.com/p/metalink-chrome-extension/

this is the first release (0.1) so there's still some feature to add, but please test it out!
