Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: normal
Hi,
apt currently ignores unreachable hosts and tries to fetch various files
from them. I beleive it would be better if hosts that time out during an apt
session weren't retried for at least half an hour, or for the rest of the
apt session (could be customizable).
