The full source code of the program is publicly available on GitHub, and anyone can contribute if there is a bug or improvement.

If you leave the switch on, it will automatically resume downloading paused in the background.

You can manually set the time interval to trigger the resume and also check the program usage log.

5. Settings take effect when the apply button is pressed.
