File transfers' status message becomes different types, depending on its state:
"Downloading/Uploading"
"Download/Upload pending, retried: 6"
"Retry in: 00:40:53, retried: 3"

In the third state (which displays <StatusRetry>), which is often available for hours long, it is not clear at all, whether the files are being uploaded or downloaded.

I'd like to propose to replace <StatusRetry> with two strings:
<StatusDownloadRetry>      Retry download in:
<StatusUploadRetry>        Retry upload in:

(Off course, if the download/upload information is at all available in RPCs, if not, I'd ask BOINC devs for its addition into the protocol.)
