Oh, mine definitely stops downloading if I press the pause button, but
it never recovers (under any circumstances).

'tis a thorough pain.  There's any number of websites that are slow or
unreliable, and being able to resume a download is very useful.  They
tend to be the ones that are next to impossible to use with an external
download manager, too, as they don't have a normal download link; they
have some stupid JavaScript or abuse form elements in some manner.
