When a download is aborted automatically, the message shows this as a standard Informational message and even says "Download completed" in the window title.
This may be fine when I requested the download to be aborted by clicking a button but the message also appears in this style when there was an error downloading the complete file because of an unsteady network connection. I accidentally clicked it away as if I got a complete file more than once and wondered about the missing content when I actually started to watch the episode.
So I'd suggest a different icon that warns me that the shown window is not because of a default behavior. I currently keep the notification window on "Download completed successfully" enabled because this normally means I can download the next episode and it reshows me the title of the just downloaded episode.
So just because a window is shown doesn't mean it's an exceptional state.

After reading a recent feature request, I like that one even more: https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/feature-request-rename-file-on-failed-aborted-download.82720/ - when the filename shows that a download was aborted, I wouldn't need any other hints anymore.
