你们中的大多数人可能在下载视频、音乐文件、文档文件等时遇到过CRDOWNLOAD 文件^{(CRDOWNLOAD files)}。它们是当您从所有基于 Chromium 的浏览器下载文件时由 chrome 创建的临时文件。

当浏览器开始下载文件时，它首先将 .crdownload 文件扩展名标记为文件名，并在下载完成后将其删除。本文讨论 crdownload 文件与其他文件的不同之处以及如何在浏览器上打开它。

什么是 CRDOWNLOAD 文件？

Crdownload文件是部分或不完整的文件，通常称为Chrome部分下载文件。它们是在下载过程中创建的临时文件，下载完成后可以作为常规文件使用。简而言之，Chrome在下载过程中会创建 crdownload 文件，并在下载完成后删除附加的 crdownload 文件扩展名。

此文件扩展名特定于基于 Chromium 的浏览器，例如Google Chrome，甚至现在的Microsoft Edge Chromium。

如何打开 CRDOWNLOAD 文件？

Crdownload 文件是部分下载文件，在您的浏览器完成下载过程之前它们是没有用的。要充分使用这些文件，您需要恢复下载过程并删除无用的文件。

以下是打开Crdownload文件的方法：

1. 启动浏览器并转到下载页面。
2. 找到已暂停下载的文件。
3. 继续下载过程或重新开始新下载。
4. 如果您下载的所有文件都已暂停并且具有 crdownload 文件扩展名，则可能意味着您的Chrome存在问题。
5. 在这种情况下，请确保您的互联网连接良好，并将您的浏览器更新到最新版本。

在浏览器中下载文件时看不到 crdownload。但是，您可以在保存文件的文件夹中查看它们。如前所述，crdownload 文件是不完整的文件。如果您看到带有 .crdownload 扩展名的文件，这仅表示Chrome仍在下载该文件，或者表明下载已中断。

如果下载已停止，则可以通过从文件名中删除 crdownload 扩展名来使用文件的一部分。

例如，如果有一个名为 audiofile.mp3.crdownload 的文件不完整，您可以通过删除 .crdownload 扩展名并将其重命名为 audiofile.mp3 来使用部分声音文件。您现在可以在 mp3 播放器中打开和使用该文件虽然下载还不完整。同样，如果您正在下载AVI文件，您可以通过删除 .crdownload 扩展名来使用部分声音文件。  然后，只要您的浏览器继续下载文件，您就可以打开并使用该文件在VLC播放器中播放视频。^(VLC)

但是，您只能在您正在下载的程序中打开和使用 crdownload 的音频和视频文件。您不能在 crdownload 扩展中使用文档、档案、图像等。值得注意的是，您不能将 crdownload 文件转换为其他格式，例如Avi、mp4 或 pdf，因为它们是不完整的文件。

有时，您可能需要右键单击它，选择属性并选择取消阻止文件^{(choose to unblock the file)}。

就这样。

Most оf you might have come across CRDOWNLOAD files while downloading video, music files, document files, etc. They are a temp file created by chrome when you download a file from all the Chromium-based browsers.

How to open CRDOWNLOAD files?

Crdownload files are partial download files and they are of no use until your browser finishes the downloading process. To fully use these files, you need to resume the download process and delete the ones that are useless.

Here is what you can do to open a Crdownload file:

1. Launch your browser and go to the download page.
2. Locate the files that have paused downloading.
3. Resume the downloading process or start the fresh download again.
4. If all the files you download are paused and have crdownload file extension, it could mean there is an issue with your Chrome.
5. In such a case make sure that your internet connection is good and update your browser to the latest version.

As mentioned earlier, crdownload files are incomplete files. If you see files with .crdownload extensions, it only means that Chrome is either still downloading the file or it suggests the download has been interrupted.

If the download has stopped it is possible to use a part of the file by removing crdownload extension from the file name.

For example, if there is an incomplete file named audiofile.mp3.crdownload, you can use a part of the sound file by removing .crdownload extension and renaming it as audiofile.mp3.You can now open and use the file in an mp3 player although the download is still incomplete. Similarly, if you are downloading an AVI file,   you can use a part of the sound file by removing .crdownload extension. You can then open and use the file to play video in a VLC  player as long as your browser continues to download the file.

However, you can open and use crdownload files of audio and video only in the programs for which you are downloading. You cannot use documents, archives, images, etc in the crdownload extension. It is worth noting that you cannot convert a crdownload file to other formats like Avi, mp4, or pdf as they are incomplete files.

Sometimes,you may need to right-click on it, select Properties and choose to unblock the file.

That’s all.
