A few suggestions concerning binary downloads

[Zulko]

I installed imageio 3-4 times, and once "import imageio" produced a bug because it could not download a binary (temporary connection problem I guess). Just running the script a second time worked fine.

So maybe it would be worth combining the try/except statement with a "for" loop to retry binary downloads several times when it doesn't work. This way you're quasi-sure that it will always work, and when you get a bug report saying it couldn't download the binaries, you're sure it's something serious.

Also I think the binary downloads could use more text, like (maybe exagerated)

[imageio] X.exe wasn't found on your computer, downloading it now. This will only be done once.

And in case of bug: "Downlaod failed, please report the issue or try again in a moment".

Cheers !

Thanks, I agree with these suggestions :) I'll get on it once #45 is merged.
