Thing is, you should be sure to always download the files you really need because if you say no once to the download prompt, it stops working until the reader is turned off and on again. In any case, that's an acceptable solution for me.
I reported that bug to Kobo late last year. But, I didn't have to restart the device to get the downloads working again. From memory, returning to the home screen and reopening the browser was all that was needed.
