Brave does not automatically resume downloads

I searched for “download resume” and “download network error” in the existing issues, and this bug didn’t show up in the list on GitHub.

Description

Brave does not automatically resume downloads, even though the Brave Help Center explicitly states “Brave will automatically resume the download” on the How do I fix file download errors? page.

Steps to Reproduce

This issue can only be reproduced if there is a Network Error. I don’t know how to reproduce the necessary error.

Actual result:

Brave never resumes the download unless the download is manually resumed (and the download does indeed resume when manually clicking the Resume button).

Expected result:

Brave should automatically resume the download as soon as the network is functioning properly.

Reproduces how often:

No steps to reproduce, but it happens to me every time the download fails.

Brave version (brave://version info)

Version 1.40.113 Chromium: 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)

So you’ve found there is exists limit on resume , what are trying to confirm? Brave browser built on top Chromium instructions on how to download and build for yourself

If clicking the Resume button works, does that mean the server allows automatic resuming in addition to manual resume? Put another way: does Brave’s automatic resuming require explicit server support? If so, I would say the documentation should be changed to reflect the requirement.
