Summary: ScaneRSS - Retry on failed torrent downloads

Initial Comment:
Within ScaneRSS v0.9.9 - when a filter is matched with a feed, and ScaneRSS attempts to download the torrent, if the download fails for whatever reason, ScaneRSS doesn't do any further actions.

The download could fail for various reasons (as documented in the log). The server (like mininova etc) could be busy and so you get a 'request timed out'. Or there could be an error like 'internal server error'. But shortly after, manually trying the download via ScaneRSS will be successful.

If the download fails, it would be good for ScaneRSS to retry x number of times in y minute intervals (like, 10 times in 10 minute intervals for example).

I've found that as bittorrent is getting more and more popular, the lack of this feature has caused ScaneRSS to get progressively more unreliable as torrent sites get busier and busier.
