Isn't exactly what you want, but you can use 1DM to intercept downloads when "External download manager" is turned on in Firefox.

I'm on the January patch of 14 (P8P) and it works for me; installed it when I received phone around black friday.

Thanks for confirming.

How does this work with auth-protected downloads?

I'm of no help and just curious, what are you trying to accomplish that the built-in manager can't do??

[–] hunt4peas@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I want to pause downloads but sometimes when it resumes, it starts from the beginning.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 years ago

Yes. It's a server feature to allow a "resume" request or not.
