Comment:

 I would approach this in the opposite direction: when doing an update,
 before downloading files, check if they are already stored in a
 transaction folder, and in that case, don't re-download them.

 I think that would work well enough? The packages in the repos don't
 change this often, after all, and it's likely that the downloads from a
 previous attempt a few minutes earlier are not obsolete yet?
