By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.

additionally (to a warning) the ability to reactivate a download would help.

Going offline means going offline. This means cutting off existing network
connections. Right now, we do it kind of abruptly.

There should already be a bug on resume-download.

I guess Hardware/OS should be All/All.

The SeaMonkey doesn't intend to work on this any more but the new implementation of the download manager in SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 and later can resume download when they are stopped due to quitting the application or going offline (if the server support it), so it's partially fixed.
