Hey, I have also hit this problem. My apt is downloading a 110MB file quite fine, but after 120 seconds it hits the timeout, even though the connection is not stalled. I had to increase the timeout to 1200 seconds to be able to download this package in my connection.
The bug has apparently been reported in Ubuntu, as well: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/354972 Thanks, -- Gustavo Noronha <k...@debian.org> Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
