Auto-numbering for Google Chrome download stops at 100

Question

Downloading same file multiple times auto-numbers the file name from 1 to 100. After 100 it opens the Save As Dialog.

Is there any way to continue the auto-numbering beyond 100?

Answer 1

Edit: As of Jan 29 2019 this was fixed and you can download more than 100 files and have the auto-numbering continue to function!

Currently this is marked as WontFix on the Chrome developer bug tracker: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=135428

It was raised five years ago (at the time of writing) but there have been votes to fix it since then.

If you want it fixed, please don't reply to that bug, but login using your Google account and "star" it (click the star icon, top left). That will vote for a fix.
