When Metalink item fails and gets retried, "name" attribute is ignored

I'm using AriaNg Native and I don't know if this issue belongs to AriaNg, AriaNg Native or aria2.

If an item in a Metalink file fails, the GUI provides a button to retry it. However using that button causes the download destination to be completely ignored.

Sample Metalink:

xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metalink version="3.0" xmlns="http://www.metalinker.org/" xmlns:a0="http://www.downthemall.net/properties#" >
    <files>
        <file name="lorem/ipsum.zip" >
            <resources>
                <url type="http" >https://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.10/windows/gimp-2.10.36-setup.exe</url>
            </resources>
        </file>
    </files>
</metalink>

If the download succeeds at first try, then the file successfully get saved as "lorem/ipsum.zip" (mind the subfolder). However if it fails and then I "retry", <file name="lorem/ipsum.zip" > becomes completely ignored as if I manually added a new URL.
