Description

When I'm downloading an app and forget about it, then close Appcenter and reopen it, I'm not able to redownload that app or any other app as there was a broken install. I can't even install something off of Terminal either due to the broken install.

Proposed solutions:

- Install apps in the background when closing Appcenter like how music still plays when closing Music.

- Give a warning that you're about to close Appcenter in the middle of a download.

- Pause the download so you can resume it after closing Appcenter(might go with number 2)
