Add an option to enable auto-start for downloads. Once the downloads are added, make the download start automatically. I was expecting downloads to be starting automatically once I add them like some download managers I've used. An option to have them would be very conventional.

i cant shuffle through all of the text and options again, but can you also add a feature, where it would just download the file with an n+1 name(for .m3u8 urls) when there is the same filename already present in the download folder - aka most of the files are called "playlist.mp4", because the url name was "playlist.m3u8" at the end, and i would need to change the filename every time i want to download something more...

altho it probably needs a separate "new" and "resume" tickable options above the download button, because then the program would know if it has to resume the file or create a new file with playlist(1), playlist(2) etc names...
