The Download Manager component manages the downloading of files in your automations, by tracking when downloads start, stop, and fail so that you can take the appropriate action in your automation.

The Download Manager component works with the Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers by first retrieving a list of files to download and the IDs that are assigned to those files. The Download Manager component provides methods to pause, terminate, and restart downloads.

The Download Manager component also records information about the download, including the following information:

• The time the download starts
• The time the download ends
• The path to the file that you want to download
• The size of the file
• The status of the download

You can retrieve this information and then use the information in your automation.

Create one Download Manager component for each adapter type. For example, if your solution uses both Edge and Chrome, create one Download Manager component for the Edge Universal Web Adapter and one for the Chrome Universal Web Adapter.
