Retry file downloads on exception up to 10 times, skip already downloaded files. #17

This addresses common "connection reset by peer" and other potential connectivity issues on download.

Suggestions for future improvement include configurable numbers of attempts, sleep intervals between attempts, and use a common file download directory (e.g. instead of creating a new one for each export). The latter would allow more incremental behavior of file downloads.
