May '22 -- im on a chromebook, connected to a dd-wrt repeater bridge, WAN connection provided by rooted andoid phone's hotspot, service on T-mobile (Metro) 4G network. im using this extension, in conjunction with the Webtor.io extension, to DL shareware and open license media via torrent magnet link. the problem i was having was with the phone periodically dropping data for brief moment, which would pause my download. i would have to babysit the chromebook to resume downloads in the chrome browser's DL manager for the download to finish. i havent been using this extention for very long, but so far, it does function as expected. i am able to step away from the chromebook, and when i return, the download is running or finished. resolves my issue. side bar: the phone doesnt lose service when the connection stalls. i believe the issue is with the provider switching provisioning of the data connection depending on tower congestion. Metro is T-Mobiles official MVNO, and even tho they dont cut off data, or force to 3G speeds, after X GB used per month, it does lower my devices priority as deemed necessary. there is no timing interval or other apparent reason for the data drops. Webtor is a fine extension, which i highly recommend. resuming a download is usually no problem, as long as the link is still active (hasnt been a long time since paused). they offer the same service (its free, btw) on their site, but the extension associates magnet links with the extension, eliminating the need to copy magnet link address and paste into the sites search bar. much less of a hassle... just click the magnet link on the website, webtor opens in a new tab, and magnet link is preloaded. select file or a .zip of all in the folder, and youre on your way to torrent bliss. in my case, the stalling connection is the culprit. i live in a very rural area, and its my only reasonable option for internet for the time being. this extension is much appreciated to make the entire process practically as simple as using a typical torrent client, which my phone connection seems to block or slow down, even using a vpn.

Wow, this has solved my downloads, which need resuming all the time, form so many sites these days that try to implement a timeout for each download.

Very useful extension and has a timer. Nice feature. Problem is basic functionality.....started using it less than a day ago and found that it stopped twice already. It had resumed more than 40 times in the logs the first time. Cleared logs then left the computer for a few hours and found it had stopped again and this time I counted log entries; 59 restarts. Maybe it has a limit of 60 or something. Maybe time as it was left for a few hours each time. Not sure. However it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether the laptop screen dims or switches off cos I've tested that. PC not set to hibernate so can't comment there. Please fix. Thanks
