Hmm, I've got the strange feeling that the -virtfs parameter might
currently be broken.

Could you please try to replace the -virtfs option with these two options:

 -fsdev local,id=shared,path=/home/mahmood/Downloads \
 -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=shared,mount_tag=Downloads

I hope that works better...
