And we're discussing a slightly different issue on this thread...


What you describe is an intended function/feature and is what I would 
expect to happen from the client GUI.

Hence on the client GUI:

"project update" should indeed update all state for the selected 
project, including retrying all pending uploads/downloads for that project;

The transfers tab page allows you to manually initiate a retry for each 
individual transfer (for /any/ project).

It's all just a different view.

For the GUI people: Add a 'button' on the transfers tab page to try 
retrying all, or is that too much clutter and an invitation to abuse a 
connection problem all the more?


On an aside: One suggestion already mentioned is to treat all the 
pending transfers for a project as one group that is then scheduled for 
transfer/retries in earliest-deadline-first/round-robin order depending 
on whether the previous _transfer_ _completed_ successfully (then use 
EDF) or not (then use RR).

Regards,
Martin
