IPSW download aborts (or appears to) if network changes #6407

If you are waiting for a ISPW to download to create a macOS VM, but change your WiFi network, etc. during this process, the download completely aborts, rather than pausing and resuming upon connection to the new WiFi network. There is no way to resume the process as far as I can tell.

Configuration

UTM Version: 4.5.3 (99)
macOS Version: 14.2.1
Mac chip: M1

This is one of those issues that seems easy enough to fix but would actually require a lot of work. Basically, we need to implement a retry and backdown algorithm and failing the download only when a number of retries are exceeded.
