Details

When using the download manager, if a file's download fails, or I want to re-download a file after deleting it off the local drive, there is no way to do so without finding the original link-ed webpage. I would like to be able to just double-click on the item in the download manager to restart the transfer. Otherwise the point of "saving" old downloads seems kind of silly... if they are on my disk, i can find them (yes, the show in explorer feature is nice&convenient, but I would think a re-download functionality is MUCH more important due to the ability to recover data loss/fail). Sorry if this is a dup, but I didnt find a bug that fit this description. Leaving severity at default, cause while this is possibly an RFE bug, it does facilitate data loss, and (in my opinion) a bit more severe. Go ahead and fix the severity if my assessment is incorrect.
Switching severity to "enhancement".

not 100% the same at the moment, but cancelled downloads is already an UNCO RFE... duping this one to that, and then I'll confirm the other one... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 164878 ***
