Where is it? I had multiple failed downloads. It keeps failing over and over again right at the end of the download. I don't understand why? It's not a space issue, plenty of that. So how can I check what is the reason for failed download?

I got saved the .part file, which is 5.13 gigs (full download should be 5.3). If I try to retry the download it just immediately fails and deletes the .part file. Why?

There is a trick to resuming downloads. You need to move the two incomplete files elsewhere, start a new download, pause it from the right-click context menu, move the incomplete files back and then resume.
