How can I switch from WiFi to mobile data without interrupting my current download in Chrome?

I am currently downloading a roughly 50 GB file in Chrome for Android (10). I am on my home WiFi. Given the speed of my network it should take roughly 8 hours. It is a regular file download which is being handled in the default way, just like when you download any file in Chrome. I will have to take the device out of my house (thus outside of the WiFi range) later, and I do not wish to interrupt the download. I have 1000 GB mobile data plan so I could just continue the download over 4G/LTE as I go out. But, as my internet connection switches to mobile data, will that interrupt the download, forcing me to start over again? If so would it help to pause the download? I could then either resume it when I get back home (on the same WiFi network) or even if it would work to resume it once I am on mobile data?
