15 Fixed A bug fixed that could cause a number of active downloads exceed the downloads limit when you pause/resume a group of downloads.
16 Fixed A bug fixed that was causing a wrong row to become selected when you move downloads up or down in the queue.
17 Changed Now long downloads lists are loaded into download manager grid faster.
18 Added A new Suspend Queue feature that allows to temporary disable starting of new downloads was added.
