en Will give more stars if you give me the ability to tell it to keep trying infinitely to resume the download if it fails. Also, this doesn't work unless you activate "apply to paused items" even if the download just fails. Which kind of sucks because sometimes I want to pause downloads but I'll have to deactivate this in order to do that.

en This may be the best a plugin can do in Chrome. I think Chrome is shutting down extension processes that keep triggering. I find it works best if I have the chrome://downloads tab open. Turn ARD of and on again occasionally to refresh it. It will run for a while, then you have to turn it off/on again and restart the downloads you want. I would love it if it just always worked, but even still, it's a huge time-saver verses restarting a bunch of downloads manually and babysitting them. So I need to occasionally refresh something that is doing most of the work. It's fine

en worked just fine for me, you can test if it works by enabling "apply to paused items", hitting apply, then pausing your item to see if it unpauses your download within the interval
