You shouldn't need anything.  If you're getting transient errors like

problem with the server at thunk.org (hi, Ted!) or something
intermittently wrong with a proxy in between.

Yes, but as I already mentioned, the fact that this is happening is
something that you should be trying to get fixed, not paper over :-)
