In bug 1779895 it was noted that retrying downloads updating the existing download causes confusion if the item is in the sorted list in the library - the re-sorting causes the download to seemingly disappear. It would be better if we left an instance in-place and re-added one at the top.

We'd need some UX/PM support to determine how to render such failed-but-retried downloads.
