Do something reasonable if they haven't successfully downloaded an update in a while?

This is something @aroben brought up at the Objective-C mini-summit.

If a user's on shitty internet and/or the updates are large, they could get into a situation where the update download never completes before they quit the app again. That sucks.

Maybe there's something reasonable we can do to improve that. Warn them so they leave the app open? Spawn a service to download the update?

We could prompt them that an update is still being downloaded, and that if they quit it will be cancelled.

We could also make sure the downloads are resumable
