Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Start a download
  2. Turn off Internet (data/wifi)
  3. Download fails (cancels)
Expected behavior

I expected it to smartly pause the download, conserving the download progress that has been made for a later time when Internet is good.

Actual behavior

The download fails entirely. All progress made is lost (except you're okay with an incomplete video) and you have to start from scratch.
