Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

The "download but do not install" option in update-manager works well
and downloads all uploads if the system is kept on and connected to the
internet for all downloads to be downloaded.

This does not function as expected with the usage on a laptop that may
not be always connected. If there are updates to be installed, the
update-manager starts downloading updates in the background. However,
once interrupted, it does not resume the background downloading; but
only shows that updates as available. The updates then can be manually
downloaded and installed.

This has been observed 8.04 beta as well as earlier versions of ubuntu.

The desired functionality is to continue background downloading whenever
the internet connection is again available; so that the user does not
have to wait for a long time for updates to download with the update
manager in the foreground.
