Display identity of timed out downloads #44

Closed rossmounce closed 9 years ago

rossmounce commented 9 years ago

So I'm on wifi at the moment, trying to download a year's worth of Nature supp data. (The flaky wifi isn't the problem, it's to be expected). I get this message:

warn: 20 downloads timed out. Retrying.

I'm not confident the retrying worked. Which 20 downloads out of a possible 2000 timed out? e.g. the PDF for PMC 123456 , the supp data file for PMC 654321 etc...

I think it would be better to print exact identity of failed downloads to screen and/or file. Related to https://github.com/ContentMine/getpapers/issues/43 in some ways
