Chrome Downloader might be trustworthy, but when it comes to failed download you can’t do anything but to start from beginning. It is good if you are downloading small files as they are not much of a pain to start from the beginning but large files can be quite frustrating. This is why people tend to go for other download manager which can resume the failed download from where you left off. But the problem is, these download managers try to make you install tons of other things while installation and not to mention all the malware and other security threats which arise with these managers use. We are here to help you with this matter with some simple steps you can now resume chrome download right where it failed! But you will need to have Firefox installed in order to do this.

The best part is, it will not only resume failed downloads, but also the one that failed as you closed chrome or PC hanged or anything. All failed and canceled downloads will easily be resumed by following these simple steps.


resume chrome download Go to Chrome Downloads

Go to Chrome downloads folder from menu or by pressing Ctrl+J and there find the failed download file which you like to resume. Open the folder where it was being downloaded and see its name, it should be a file with CRDOWNLOAD extension. For this tutorial we will call it This_File.crdownload.

Rename the Failed Download
Now rename the failed download which you located in 1st step with the copied name and change the extension name from CRDOWNLOAD to PART. Therefore, change name from This_File.crdownload to This File.part. The windows will prompt that this can lead to corrupt file but don’t worry just do it.

Replace Firefox file
Now copy the renamed file and go to the location where the Firefox download file is located. Delete that file and copy the renamed file there.

Resume Download
Now go to Firefox and resume the download which you paused before. Firefox will resume the download from where chrome failed to download.

What actually happens?
When Chrome fails to download something, it doesn’t actually delete the file. Whatever is downloaded remains there in the download folder, but chrome cannot resume it at it doesn’t support this feature. On the other hand, Firefox can easily do that if proper file name and extension is provided.

How To Check Whether Your SnapChat Username Was Not Stolen In The Recent Data Breach

The Snapchat data breach which took almost 4.6 million usernames was the biggest hack ever in the messaging service history. Some users are still not confirmed that either their usernames and password was included in the Snapchat 4.6 million data leak. Lets check it out how one can find whether their username and password was not stolen. GS lookup is a free online tool which tell you whether your username is effected in the data breach or not. Just simple open up the website and enter your username detail. It will search your username in the 4.6 million leaked data, If it will be found, it will suggest you what to do next. If not , then you are good to go. Here's what you can do , if your username is stolen,

Solution

First and foremost, you can delete your Snapchat account - sadly, this won't remove your phone number from the already circulating leaked database.
If you feel that you'd rather unscrupulous entities not potentially have your phone number, you're free to contact your phone TelCo, and request that they give you a new number. If you detail the breach, they'll almost certainly give you a new one.
Lastly, ensure that your security settings are up to scratch on your social media profiles. Be careful about what data you give away to sites when you sign up - if you don't think a service requires your phone number, don't give it to them.

3 - CUSTOM TABS

Tabs - The little buttons that sit underneath your cover picture, can be customized for a number of purposes.

You can run contests and sweepstakes, promote your products, or even hide an offer or discount code which is revealed when the user clicks "Like"

4 - PARTNERSHIP

Let's say you have 100 likes ; but one of your major partner or customers has 10,000, by utilizing this partnership, you could spread the word about your page, promotion or giveaway to a much greater audience, free or charge.

6 - REPLY TO PEOPLE 

Facebook is all about engagement and communication, so its important to show you care by replying to every message you receive. Even if you are being criticized, its a vital that you are seen to publicly respond and deal with it.

7 - SOCIAL PLUG-INS OR QR CODES

'Build it and they will come' is definitely not a phrase that applies to Facebook marketing. Many businesses struggles to grow their following simply their fans don't know they are on it.

Build social plug-ins into your website, and use QR codes on your print media so they know where to find you !.
