Example URL:
N/A

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Begin downloading a file. In this case, it was an approximately 400MB .AVI file.
2. Open the file in a player that allows playback of incomplete video files. I used VLC media player. Continue to watch as the file is downloaded.
3. Once download reaches 100%, it fails, probably because chrome can't rename the shortcut from .crdownload to .avi (as the file is open).
4. The file is instantly deleted.

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect the file to not be deleted, or, at least, to get a prompt before it does this. Being stuck with .crdownload extension is better than having to download a 400MB file on a connection with FUP again.

What went wrong?
Chrome deleted a large video file once a download completed, probably because the file was open in VLC media player at the time.

Did this work before? Yes Few months back

Chrome version: 52.0.2743.116  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0

I am beginning to miss this a lot, as i often make use of such downloads due to limited connection speed. As it used to work few months back, i presume it is a bug. Even a workaround would be appreciated.
