Answer 1

Looks like it's down to you to handle the retry.

When any task completes, the NSURLSession object calls the delegate’s URLSession:task:didCompleteWithError: method with either an error object, or nil if the task completed successfully. If the task is a resumable download task, the NSError object’s userInfo dictionary contains a value for the NSURLSessionDownloadTaskResumeData key. Your app should use reachability APIs to determine when to retry, and should then call downloadTaskWithResumeData: or downloadTaskWithResumeData:completionHandler: to create a new download task to continue that download. Go to step 3 (creating and resuming task objects).
