How to Automatically Retry a download in App Store for Mac OS X 10.8.4
Hi Mac Users
I have a strange problem with my broadband provider that after every 30 minutes they give one timeout with the download that is being performed. (Not sure that this is to prevent continuos downloads or any stupid strategy).
So the App Store puts this into error status and I have to manually restart the download by providing the password again.
Is there any way or kind of os x api snippet (that I can write myself) to automatically retry for 2 or 5 times with a few seconds as interval. This saves my time as its been two days that I got my new mac book pro retina and the updates itself have not yet finished. It just fails with network timeout error and I have click on the resume/install again (by providing my apple id password) & clicking on resume once again.... By this only 50 MB is being downloaded every 30 min :-(
