I had the occasion to need to pause the download of a large list of files recently. The pause button worked perfectly. Only issue I had was trying to get the list to start downloading again. I eventually did figure it out, but to me it was not at all intuitive.
I think there should be a button located next to pause to "resume all" or maybe change the pause button to a "resume all" button. I initially just clicked the "start selected", assuming that it meant that everything in the download list is what would be considered "selected". When nothing happened, I started to explore other options. Found I could start individuals by clicking on them. Eventually I found the select all button, then was back in business.
That really is more complicated than it should be. I can see the need for the ability to select certain ones and to just start those when doing the queue method, but after hitting pause, it should be able to resume whatever was downloading prior to pausing.
