I'm of no help and just curious, what are you trying to accomplish that the built-in manager can't do??
I want to pause downloads but sometimes when it resumes, it starts from the beginning.
Sometimes the ability to resume a download is prevented by the server you are downloading from. The server needs to support the request to resume.
Does it apply to Firefox Windows too? I couldn't resume some of my direct downloads. 1 factor why I've preferred torrents.
Yes. It's a server feature to allow a "resume" request or not.
