Every desktop packaging job (Windows MSI, macOS DMG, Linux DEB) currently
breaks on the smallest blip when fetching VLC from get.videolan.org. The
`ir.mahozad.vlc-setup` plugin registers `vlcDownload` / `upxDownload`
tasks that extend `de.undercouch.gradle.tasks.download.Download`, but it
does not configure retries or a generous read timeout, so a single
`SocketTimeoutException` aborts the build.
Recent main runs all failed at the same step:
> Task :desktopApp:vlcDownload FAILED
> A failure occurred while executing ...DefaultWorkAction
> java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
Configure all `Download` tasks in this project with:
- 5 attempts total (initial + 4 retries),
- 30 s connect timeout,
- 5 min read timeout (VLC archives are 40-90 MB and the mirror can be
slow under load),
- `tempAndMove` so a partial download from one attempt cannot poison
the next.
This is a CI-only change \u2014 it does not alter what gets bundled, just
makes the fetch resilient.
