@Ian

I do believe it should, but I don’t recall testing that specific use case.

If I go offline (File – Work Offline) Minefield* asks if it should cancel (not pause!) downloads. If connection is lost downloads fail with an error message: “foo.bar could not be saved, because the source file could not be read”. There is room for improvement. :)

Actually, even though the downloads don’t automatically resume at startup quite yet, they will automatically resume when you start the download manager. :)
