User reviews
Pros
- Effectively resumes downloads that would otherwise fail, saving time and effort.
- Works well when the downloads tab is kept open, improving reliability.
- Simple and easy to use for managing download resumptions.
- Helpful for users with unstable internet connections causing frequent download interruptions.
Cons
- Inconsistent functionality; often stops working after some time or a few resumptions.
- Requires manual toggling or refreshing (turning off/on) to work continuously.
- Limited by Chrome's restrictions; does not always resume downloads automatically without user intervention.
- Does not always resume paused downloads unless specific settings are enabled.
- Sometimes applies only to visible downloads; not all downloads resume properly.

Don't know what kind of PICNIC users are writing these reviews, but this extension worked fantastically for me! I was trying to download the 6 GB Ubuntu ISO, and the download was crapping out every 30 seconds up to about 12% download. So, I installed this extension and it downloaded the rest without a single interruption. Thanks, dev, you saved me a massive headache! NB: For what its worth, I kept the active downloads tab open, and on screen.
