Earlier versions of Opera (as well as other browsers) have 2 options on the Download dialog: Run & Save. I rarely want to save exe files, but there's no Run option for version 20. I there a way to activate Run?

Also, is there a way to stop a download when it is in progress?

I'm not aware of a run button in Opera 20. You save it, and then run it from wherever you saved it by double clicking on it. The way Opera 20 works, you can stop a pause a download, but can't seem to clear it. However, you can stop a download in progress with

with the Fruumo Download Manager in the Chrome store. .

To use a Chrome extension, you need the Opera Extension, "Download Chrome Extension."

Here's a discussion of the Fruumo app, though the name of the app is misspelled in the title.

Nope

Open the download list (or page) and click on the pause button.

The pause button only pauses the download, but you can't seem to cancel or clear it there. It's remains in a download position unless I'm missing something.

On the download page you can click oin the "x" on the left to remove the download from the list.
