I've been using Firefox for a while and there is one file storage site that is always an issue for me. Downloads work but frequently, it stops near the end of the transfer and shows "failed" in the Library window.

Every time, I can click "resume" and it works but it's extremely annoying. If I don't watch the download carefully, I might miss the "failed" message and then the download link times out. There should be a setting to automatically retry a certain number of times.

I've tried multiple add-ons and none of them work.

You aren't downloading too many files at the same time from that server as that might be a reason for the server to close the connection?

Hilfreich?

Justin, it is unfortunate that Firefox does not give users any obvious feedback when downloads complete or fail, and so they have to keep manually checking.

I use the Noise add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/noise/

which allows you to add audio feedback for download (and other) events.

I realise that hearing a sound if a download fails is not the same as an auto-resume, but if you do not find a satisfactory auto-resume solution then a 'play a sound to let me know a download has failed' add-on might be the next best option.

Hilfreich?
