Package: apt Version: 0.7.9 When downloading large packages from an ftp source, e.g. evolution-commen (>40MB) or linux-source-2.x.x apt downloads said package, but doesn't realize when the download is finished. It stalls at 100% and, after a couple minutes timeouts and either continues with other packages, or if all others are done prints an error message for the package it couldn't download.
My current workaround is using an http mirror for repositories with potentially large packages like main. I would like to add that wget also stalls on large packages downloaded from an ftp source. But with wget I can ctrl-c out of the stall and the package is still downloaded (because, like apt it stalls after the download). But apt seems to throw away the package instead of keeping it. Also, if I let wget run it will attempt another download after a long stall/timeout and then realize that the package is already there and exit on itself. My computer is connected to a router that has a wireless land connection to another router that had a dsl connection to the internet. But apart from the above problems everything (including voip for example) works fine. Malte -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
