I am currently downloading some files from the website. Due to the large amount of data that requires millions of clicks, I choose to use iMacros to accomplished the clicks. But the website is unstable and interrupt the automatic click from time to time. I had it fix some of problems while there is still one problem remaining.
The Picture shows the problems. It just stops and do not proceed. It does not return with an error but just stops.
In each specific line, they are designed to click at a button or to fill in some context. And sometimes the website is responding slowly and the button or the text frame do not show on time. Thus, the macros just stopped there. I was astonished to find that it is not return with a error but just stopped there.
I am looking for a solution on this so that whenever it stops like this, I can restart the current looping and do not miss the current line.
The following is the code for imacros. FYI. I sincerely appreciate that if you could help me out with this. Thanks!

Try to modify the myLoop variable in the following way:
SET myLoop EVAL("if ('{{myLoop}}' == '__undefined__') {try {ml = (confirm('CONTINUE FROM THE LOOP #' + ml + ' ?') ? ml : 1)} catch(e) {ml = 1;}} else if ('{{!EXTRACT}}' == '' || '{{!EXTRACT}}' == '#EANF#') ml = ml; else ml = ++ml; ml;")
(I suppose that the problem of macro stopping as you described above is a bug of 'iMacros for Chrome'. So my next suggestion may be to use 'iMacros for Firefox' and its JavaScript Scripting Interface instead.)
