Comment (by leavengood):
I started looking over the code for this. I think downloads could be
retried fairly easily in the `FetchFileJob::Execute` method, but
"resuming" a previous broken update seems more difficult.
There would need to be some way for the package kit to determine if a
previous transaction directory represents an incomplete update, in which
case it could try again using that directory. I also don't yet know if the
entire directory is deleted when there is a download failure.
I am thinking over the options, but I will need to do some testing and may
need to experiment.
