Subject: apt: Apt doesn't work with ftp.cdrom.com, it gives protocol corruption
messages

X-Mailer: bug 3.1.7
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.4
It seems that if I use the line
deb ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/debian potato main contrib non-free
to use the mirror at ftp.cdrom.com, then fetches from said site fail
with Protocol corruption messages all the time. The problem is somewhat
intermittent, but happens well over half the time. Sometimes it comes
at the beginning of the download of a file, sometimes at that end.
Perhaps you could take a look at this server and see what about it makes
apt-get's ftp client choke on a site that works fine with other ftp
clients?

In this case, it actually downloaded most of alien before failing.
This appears to be common, for it to get part way through a file, then
die. Running apt-get again with the same command line seems to pick up
where the failed one left off, but there's no guarentee that the second
attempt won't fail as well.
