A useful feature addition would be a 'cooldown' or 'backoff' period between retries in LoadingItem which would force the loader to wait a specified amount of time before attempting to load the resource again.

Although this sounds like an odd request - requests for resources from Amazon S3 will sometimes mysteriously fail for a user, yet if you were to retry the request 5 seconds later it would work (see Amazon's own [S3 Best Practices document](http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1904)).

An example of the syntax could be: ```bulkInstance.add("asset.png", {maxTries: 5, cooldown: 2000});```
