How to resume cancelled Chrome downloads using .crdownload file

The one and only thing I dont like about Chrome is its download system. It can be extremely frustrating sometimes, if you are downloading huge (>500 MB) files. It automatically stops sometimes. The common misconception is that, if this error happens, we have to download the file from the beginning. Easy enough, if you have not reached that far in your download. But what if it happens when you are on 90% or above? Here is an easy trick to resume a cancelled download of Chrome, using leftovers of the dead download…

Step 1 : Go to your download location and locate your file. It will have an extension “.crdownload” (eg : if you are downloading a file named “name.extension”, what you have to locate is “name.extension.crdownload”). Now rename your file by removing the “.crdownload” extension. (eg: rename “name.extension.crdownload” to  ”name.extension”)
Step 2 : Download “wget” from here and copy the .exe file into the same directory as that of your unfinished download.
Step 3 : Open command prompt inside your download folder. To do this easily in Windows 7/8, just hold Shift Key and press left mouse button, and select “Open command prompt here”.
Step 4 : Now a new black window will appear. Type in the command ” wget -c <URL> “

>> You will need to type the place you are downloading the file from in the place of <URL>. You can obtain this from Chrome Downloads page, or the website you are downloading the file from. (eg: http:// webpage.com/ file.extension)
Step 5 : Now your download will RESUME!! After completion, you just need to go to your download folder, and find your file,, completely downloaded! Neat huh?
