Ability to automatically retry the transfers with 'Connection timeout' status

501NotImplemented opened this issue · comments

Describe the solution you'd like

As a user, I would like to have the ability to enable the automatic retry transfers that have 'Connection timeout' status, to automatically resume them in case the initial connection attempt failed, but the upcoming connection might succeed.

Additional context

As for now, the transfers from some users fail with 'Connection timeout', but can successfully continue or start if I manually right-click on them and select 'Resume'. I would like to get this feature enabled by default, instead of manually monitoring the downloads status.
This feature could reuse the exponential retries or something or be limited to a specific number of retries before failing.

This is already done every three minutes.

@mathiascode great, then feel free to close the ticket. Maybe it's also worth specifying it somewhere, e.g. in a status tooltip in a downloads grid?

It's something we can revisit, but it will probably not happen now.
