It will attempt any that completely failed when it runs again but you may well 
find that they fail again.

Yes these "successful" downloads will be marked as already downloaded and no 
further attempts will be made unless you force them. Even if these were 
reattempted though you will almost certainly find that the higher quality modes 
fail again and they download at the next level down. You will need to set the 
PVR to use HVF modes if the original HLS mode fails. The downside to this is 
there is NO like for like replacement for the HD downloads. You either go for a 
download with the same dimensions but double the framerate and double the 
filesize or you drop to 540p HD which is roughly the same bitrate and filesize 
as the old HD.
