Ability to download in background before clicking Download Now

Open seahindeniz opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Hi, is it possible to start the download process in background while reviewing the details? So that, when I hit the Download Now button, it'll continue to download from the process of the background downloading and if I hit Cancel button it will flush the download progress in background.

It's hard to understand the meaning of

if I hit Cancel button it will flush the download progress in background.

I guess you you are referring to a separate dialog box for displaying task details, and this cancel button for pausing the task, Is that correct?

No actually. When this window opens, it waits for user to make an action, right? While waiting for an action, it can start downloading the file in background without waiting for user to hit the download button. This is a hidden operation and user doesn't have to know it. If user clicks on cancel button, this means the downloaded chunks/parts in background can be removed from the file system

This feature is on my to-do list, I'll implement it after FileCentipede3.0 is released.
