how to pause downloads in safari

As of now, in macOS Sierra version 10.12.5 (I don't know if it used to work in Mountain Lion), on the top right corner in Safari is the download arrow clicking on which opens the list of files that are downloaded or downloading. Hovering the mouse over a file that is downloading gives you a cross(x) which stops the download though, if you start the download again from that button, it will resume the download from the same percentage(if you didn't close Safari after stopping the download).

I hope this helps.

In the Safari window in the upper right just below the full screen arrows is a downward arrow. Click on that arrow to open the Downloads both current and past.

I tried this, but instead of pausing the download, it cancels it. If i click stop and then the orange circular arrow, it does not begin downloading at point in which I pressed stopped, it starts from the very beginning. Is there any way to pause a download without restarting it?
