 This is for the non-mirror failure mode, if you keep retrying here you
might be re-downloading something that is "working" from the HTTP POV,
but failing the checks post download.
 So you'd need some way to distinguish between a temporary network
problem and a data problem.

 This seems like a bad idea, much better to just go for between 2 and 16
seconds or something.

 That's _old_, there's going to be a lot of stuff fixed by just
upgrading.
