I will consider a quick-to-give-up routes for the automated makecache runs:

It's not an excuse for DNF or any other application, but bugs and 
unexpected routes through the download code happen (especially if it's 
designed not to give up if some partial operation fails). So with 
expensive connections you are always exposed to this danger as long as 
you use any software that stays running for long periods of time (or is 
executed repeatedly like 'dnf makecache') and communicates over the network.
