Interrupted podcast downloads cannot be resumed

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Podcast downloading often fails, which is a problem on its own, separately reported.

The problem is that an interrupted download leaves you with a portion of the podcast, and no way to either finishing or restarting the download.

There is the possibility to delete the chapter (with a VERY confusing dialog that offers you keep the file but delete the chapter, or something like that). However, if the chapter is deleted it vanishes leaving no trace in the list of podast chapters. Refreshing the podcast does not make the complete list appear again, which would allow restarting the download.

Solutions:

A right-click option to download again or resume download should be offered.

The dialog about keeping the file but deleting the chapter should be made more clear and complete.
