How to handle failed downloads?

[tomekslesicki]

If a download fails at some point, is it ok for me to call:

if (this.data.finished && this.data.success == false)
{
	this.resume();
}

...or should I handle it in some other way? Ideally, I'd not throw an error at a user, but make another attempt at downloading the failed file again.

Thank you!

@tomekslesicki I think resume only works if the download has been stopped with Download.stop()

I think if it fails you just need to restart it - and I think HISE will carry on from where it left off.

@d-healey so I should just call

Server.downloadFile

again?

@tomekslesicki Yeah - try it and report back, and don't get stuck in an endless loop of failed downloads, give up after a few attempts.

In my downloader I give up after 1 attempt so I don't have to deal with it ;)
