Perhaps these features would be a plus... or a PITA too create/code/debug.

Cache the download portion (on the user end) so the user can pause and resume the download. A resume/retry for failed downloads tied too the above cache. Re-trace the previous download too see where it failed and resume from there.. or 1kb (packet) before in case of corruption. (failed video files are killer too a wireless data plan (USB connect/tethering) on a 20 minute 300mb video)... and that's at a 480 res.. not HD.

reasons are obvious, most all are on data plans and a failed download = start over from the start.

lastly- update the settings so the user can auto retry more than 10 attempts if they wish in instance of a fail....... 3 hours later.
