Could not connect to security.debian.org:80 on aptitude

2006-08-04 Thread J F 

I am getting an error from aptitude (and apt-get update):

http://security.debian.org stable/updates/man Packages {ERROR}
Could not connect to security.debian.org:80 (128.101.240.212), connection timed 
out

It repeats the error twice for main, contrib, and non-free .
It waits about 5 minutes at each try.

1. I've never seen this on my other debian computer
and so it's strange to see it here.  Lots of things
different between the 2 computers.

2. Is there a way to make it give up waiting in a shorter amount of
time, say 1 minute instead of 5 minutes?

Thanks in advance,
J

I'm getting timeouts on 128.101.240.212 (ftp.us.debian.org 
security.debian.org) as well.

Per the man for apt.conf I believe you can configure the timeout by
appending something like:

Acquire::http::Timeout 30;
Acquire::ftp::Timeout 30;

I haven't tried it, so don't quote me on that.  The manual doesn't
specify, but I'm presuming the value is seconds.
