How to pause and resume downloads in Chrome [Tip]

To add extra download options to Google Chrome, check out the Fruumo Download Manager. That’s an extension for Google Chrome with which you can manage your downloads within the browser. The extension adds a download manager to Chrome with an enhanced UI which includes extra options you won’t find on the default download manager.

Add the extension to the browser from this page by pressing the + Free button. Then you’ll find a Fruumo Download Manager button on the toolbar as in the shot below. As such, you can open the download manager directly from your toolbar.
