Description

I was in the middle of downloading Xcode, and I had to take a video call. I wanted to pause the download to maximize bandwidth. However, I could only cancel the entire download, so that's what I did.

If it's not too hard, would love to be able to pause the download and resume it later.

Research direction

Start by locating the aria2 download entry point and the UI state that currently exposes cancellation. Trace how a download is cancelled, then identify where pause and resume state would belong. Done means an in-progress Xcode download can be paused and later resumed without restarting.
