Feature Requests: retry on fetching errors

[atoomic]

cpm already provides a retry option but it seems to only retry when configure/build/test/install fails
I would suggest to also retry when fetching the tarball fails, as the http server can misbehave under heavy load and co...
[ maybe in this case give it a few sec before retrying? ]

from --help

        --retry, --no-retry
          retry configure/build/test/install if fails, default: retry

@skaji would you be open to the idea?

retry when fetching the tarball fails

Already retry 3 times.

mm maybe in this case what would be useful is to be able to increase the number of retry and/or set a timeout?
--retry-max=N [ N default to 3] --retry-timeout=X [X default to X sec]
