Description Nico Stöckigt

It might happen that the connection to the repo server has a *hickup* and fails on the first attempt. Such cases should be detected and a descriptive message should be returned to the user.
It also might be a good idea - cause this often only happens on the first try - to retry this several times; 3, 5 or 10 or even better: configurable via UCR-V.
