Some people are not so lucky, they can't finish any download in Chrome. What's worse, they fail to download files without receiving a warning or error message indicating where the process went wrong. In this case, it's time to take some further measures.
After reading numerous stories telling how people fix the downloading problems in Chrome, we summed up four effective solutions which I hope to be a permanent cure. These are what you can try: clear all history and cache, run the Chrome cleanup tool, and reset settings to Chrome's original defaults.
If you want to keep your Chrome history and cookies, you can backup or export Chrome history and cookies in advance. A Chrome cleanup tool can find and remove harmful software on your computer. Running this tool may solve the "Chrome won't download files" issue caused by malware. Step 4. Under "Reset and clean up", click "Restore settings to their original defaults" and then click "Reset Settings" to confirm.
Attention, resetting Chrome will reset the browser startup page, new tab page, pinned tabs, and more. It will also disable all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. However, other files like your bookmarks, history, and saved passwords will not be saved still. If you want to retrieve cookies but have no backup available, learn how to recover cache files in Google Chrome here.

The extension will check the file name and see if it matches a name in the rule that you set. If it does then it will be placed in the folder set by you. By default, rules for jpeg images and torrent applications will be set.
For mp4 videos and GIF images. But, you are going to set a MIME type for that particular file. Now, this destination folder will be inside the Downloads folder. You can also create a hierarchy of folders as I did here for GIFs. This only will be the case for big websites like Facebook, Twitter and others.
To check the URL, just right-click on an image and open it in a new tab. Another option is to set Global referrer folder. Checking this option will download the file to the folder that has the same name as the source URL.
Next is rules based on file name. This too is simple. Before you take all the effort to download and install the latest, it will be good to check if you already have the latest version.

The offline installer is used when you are unable to use the regular installer to get Chrome.
The regular installer downloads a smaller file that downloads the rest of the installer and completes the installation. In case this is not working, the offline installer is the best workaround that you can try. The offline installer is also used when a computer that you are trying to install Chrome on does not have an internet connection or has a slow internet connection. In such situations, you can download the complete offline installer setup file on a computer where you have a fast internet connection.
After downloading, copy the installer to the computer where you want to install Chrome. Double-click the file to start the installation.
