Resume Download Following Loan Period End #25

Closed rorybd closed 4 months ago

rorybd commented 9 months ago

There are certain books that are too long to download within their 1 hour loan period, which causes the extension to fail partially through the download.

One workaround for this is to use a lower quality for the download. However, would it be possible for the extension to save its progress on a particular book and resume the download after the user re-borrows it?

May be "borrowing for 14 days" can be help. Or choose another release.

Due to limitation of functions to extension within browser, files in your hard disk can not be appended. So saving download progress and resuming later is impossible.

rorybd commented 9 months ago

Many books cannot be borrowed for 14 days, only an hour.

An alternative would be to allow for downloading a custom range of pages; that way a user could manually download the book in smaller chunks.

+1. It would be great to have this.
