Sometimes after doing research on the web you find a whitepaper or two that is very useful. It never fails that as soon as you delete the whitepaper from your hard-drive that someone else needs a copy of it. Currently we have to re-find the item on the web, and we cannot merely select the item in the download manager and click "redownload" or something. This will also come in handy if a server is being overloaded at the moment and it severs your connection in mid-download. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the download manager 2. Select an item that was already downloaded (i.e. not in progress) 3. Try to get the download manager to re-download it. Actual Results: There was no option or ability to do what I wanted. It is impossible to do. Expected Results: Provide an option to re-download any item that is in the download manager.
