Class MediaHttpDownloader (2.4.1)

public final class MediaHttpDownloader

Media HTTP Downloader, with support for both direct and resumable media downloads. Documentation is available here.

Implementation is not thread-safe.

Back-off is disabled by default. To enable it for an abnormal HTTP response and an I/O exception you should call HttpRequest#setUnsuccessfulResponseHandler with a new HttpBackOffUnsuccessfulResponseHandler instance and HttpRequest#setIOExceptionHandler with HttpBackOffIOExceptionHandler.

Upgrade warning: in prior version 1.14 exponential back-off was enabled by default for an abnormal HTTP response. Starting with version 1.15 it's disabled by default.
