A workaround that I've just implemented and works fairly well, despite being a little clunky is as follows:
in /etc/hosts set an alias for each of the repositories you reference in sources.list such that they all resolve to the debtorrent-client demon e.g. 127.0.0.1 localhost ftp.uk.debian.org.debtorrent www.debian-multimedia.org.debtorrent [etc.] then modify /etc/apt/sources accordingly e.g. deb debtorrent://localhost/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main becomes deb debtorrent://ftp.uk.debian.org.debtorrent/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main and then apt-cache policy will report the hostname ftp.uk.debian.org.debtorrent rather than localhost Cheers & God bless Sam "SammyTheSnake" Penny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
