Package: apt Version: 0.7.14+b1 Followup-For: Bug #179384 I believe I asked for this fix, long ago. However it appears to have gotten lost in the mists of time, down the swirl of the Debian sinkhole... ;>
There is an issue with rate-limiting '-o Acquire::http::Dl-Limit=' -- which is not actually completely worked out, logically. apt-get does NOT rate-limit the entire download session: instead, it only rate-limits each particular process it is working on. And so, when you are getting packages from _multiple_ sources, the download rate is actually a *multiple* of whatever is set in 'Dl-Limit='. This, of course, is NFG for anyone who has set the rate limit thinking they have set an absolute bar for apt-get. They will instead max out their Internet connection, if there is more than one source. -- grok. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (998, 'testing'), (501, 'stable'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2008.04.16+nmu1 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2.2-3 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.2.2-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
