I Want The File/DB/Location where the Download List is Stored

My Problem: Mozilla Download Fails and Do not Resume Automatically Alternate: Use Alternate Download Tool How: Right Click on Download List, Copy the URL, Paste it in the Tool Challenge: To Do this on Many Files is Time Consuming Requirement: To Get the List of Files in the Download List 

                         The File Name and URL 
                         A Custom Application will read this.

Question: Where is this information Stored? I read that, there will be a file called download.sqlite in the Profile Folder along with places.sqlite. But couldn't find it. Why is download.sqlite missing, can I do something, to make it appear. Or where else is the download list then stored?

For many versions now, downloads are stored as part of history in the places.sqlite database. The old separate database was discontinued.

Have you considered something like the "DownThemAll!" extension? I haven't tried it myself but it appears to be popular: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/downthemall/
