Save the iTunes download queue Is there a way to save the download queue in iTunes ? I had to reboot my Macbook, and to my surpise, the queue was empty when I restarted iTunes. Is this behaviour intended ?

Edit:

It appears that this problem was related to the fact that my installation was not a clean install but an upgrade. It was OS X 10.7 upgraded to OS X 10.8. I did a fresh install, and now everything is back to normal; the queue is correctly saved and restored across sessions.
It should still be there, if it never downloaded? I suggest you contact in to Apple iTunes Support and explain you had items in your downloads queue, when you restarted, they disappeared. 

First try signing out and back into your iTunes Store account in iTunes, if they download queue is still empty, email in.
