Duplicate of bug 1013 (auto-retry failed downloads after all downloads have
finished).

Yes, gPodder has a focus on usability. But as it turns out, even my free time
that I dedicate to gPodder is limited, and other issues are classified as more
important right now. Feel free to come up with a patch to provide the necessary
feature. Nobody is forcing you to use gPodder. Also, sometimes resuming a
download when the active interface changes is not something that users might
necessarily want (imagine switching from Wifi to a 3G connection without an
unlimited data plan - if the application resumes a download "behind the user's
back", it might not be at all what the user wants and it can get expensive).
Usability isn't "Try to do everything automagically". I would argue that the
visibility of the system status (gPodder telling you that the download was
interrupted) might be more beneficial to the Usability of the system, but as
described in bug 1013, the feature request is known and might eventually be
implemented if there is time.
