The download process interrupted when closing the windivert #345

When I'm downloading a file in chrome, then close WindowDivert, the download process will be interrupted, can't continue and have to download again from the beginning. Is there any way to prevent this?

That depends what the WinDivert application was doing.

For example, if it was redirecting the connection to a proxy, then killing the application would permanently disrupt the connection.

Otherwise, if the application was something like passthru, then killing it can cause some packet loss if the application does not shutdown correctly. Specifically, any packet received by the application but not yet reinjected will be lost. However, this should be recoverable for TCP connections.
