[Feature Request] Auto Retry

[rmoghadam]

The tool really needs a feature to automatically retry the failed download based on the specified time.

Proposed feature look likes this :

dlm -R retry time
dlm -R 10 'URL /--inputFile'

[Arnaud Gourlay]

There is already a retry strategy implemented in dlm.

dlm/src/main.rs

Lines 99 to 101 in 22350c9

 let retry_strategy = ExponentialBackoff::from_millis(1000) 
     .map(jitter) // add jitter to delays 
     .take(10); // limit to 10 retries 

This is an exponential backoff with at most 10 retries.

Is this covering your needs?

[rmoghadam]

Thank you very much , can we have an option for more than 10 please ?
for example dlm -r 20 ?
