Bug#461582: boinc-manager: download retry mechanism to fix

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: boinc-manager
Version: 5.10.30-4
Severity: normal

Hello,
I've noticed a strange behaviour of algorithm used to retry downloads if
failed.

Usually (no changes to default settings) 2 downloads from the same
projects are allowed at the same time.

If there are many downloads from the same projects, and one of them
failed, it is put in "retry in xx.xx" mode; at the same time, another
file (for the same project) is started to download.

When the file in waiting for "retry" elapses its wait time, it is
restarted, and on file currently in download is moved in "download
pending".

I think the right behaviour would be to put the waken download file into
"download pending" not a file that is in "downloading" state.

Regards,
Sandro
