Hi Jaakov,

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3
Some internet providers change the IP address of clients frequently -
approximately once a minute instead of once a day. "aptitude update"
and aptitude downloads executed by such clients cannot deal with this
fact - neither with passive nor with active sockets. They manage to
download a bit before the IP change and then say that a socket cannot
be connected.
An improvement is needed. If it's already implemented, I'd like to see
the documentation of this feature.
aptitude doesn't use sockets directly, the download functionality
happens through libapt, so I don't think that we can do much about it.
The problem also happens when using apt, I suppose?
Cheers.
