Fix a race condition where interrupting a download (via Ctrl-C) during a retry attempt could cause a crash. When `enqueueItem()` throws because the download thread is shutting down, the exception would propagate without setting `done=true`, causing the `TransferItem` destructor to invoke the callback a second time. This triggered an assertion failure in `Callback::rethrow()` with: `Assertion '!prev' failed` and the error message `cannot enqueue download request because the download thread is shutting down`. The fix catches the exception from `enqueueItem()` and calls `fail()` to properly complete the transfer, ensuring the callback is invoked exactly once. |
