If you get "error" or "timeout", it means in both cases that loading  
the url failed.
In such a case, you can retry the whole process a second time.
Pseudo code:
if urlStatus = "error" or urlStatus = "timeout" then answer error  
"Downloading url failed:" with "Cancel" or "Retry"
if it is "Retry" then...
Or in an automated way you'll not display any dialog but you'll retry  
directly.
Don't forget to set a counter in a script local var for instance to  
not retry hundreds of times but only two or three times ;-)

Best regards from Paris,
