Pause download #14

Open spdhiraj99 opened 5 years ago

spdhiraj99 commented 5 years ago

There are times when i accidentally start a download, or maybe i just want to stop downloading for some reason and resume it later on. Is there a way to actually pause/resume downloads?

@spdhiraj99 I'm clearly understand the feature to pause/resume active tasks. Now all work is on the side youtube-dl backend - downloading and multiplexing into final media container via ffmpeg. It would be complicate task to replace the functionality for an extension.

Anyway it's possible to make very simple "download manager" with some functionality:

  1. Show active tasks.
  2. Ability to interrupt/close tasks. But there is no ability to pause/resume tasks in that method. So there will be pieces of unfinished downloadings in the destination folders.
