Failed update should try again

Bug Description

Currently, every update check is done only once. When it fails, e.g. when there's no connection, it won't try again. I think this is wrong, especially if a user has a large update interval (a week or a month).

Perhaps you should register a separate check time when the check fails, or use a last check time in the past, something like: [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:3600 - [updater updateCheckInterval]].

That's a good idea for the next release; I'm new-code-frozen on 1.5 now.
