Comment #73 on issue 1028 by rablaridash: Do not stop downloads when closing the corresponding tab/window http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1028
I'm not arguing against a dialog box; the user should definitely be warned when they are closing the browser with non-resumable downloads in progress. The problem is the suggested choices presented to the user in this dialog box: wait it out, or forget about those downloads completely. Why so extreme? Why does this occur to people as a sensible choice to force the user to make? It seems like extra work to remove those incomplete downloads from the list, so why the jump to that solution? Give the user the option to stop the downloads and start them again at a later time. If they can be resumed, great. If they can't, then at least they don't have to go looking for them again: they're in a convenient list, ready to be restarted. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
