Sorry for the long reply. Your response did not go to my e-mail for some reason.
"Are you sure there is enough space on the partition to cache a 240MB package?" yes the partition is only 5% full. "You can use wget to do a single manual file request." yes wget works and is quite fast. "can you send /var/log/apt-cacher/error.log with debugging enabled for a single file." yes I will attach the log file but I'm not sure how to get the debug option. "Yes, I have used apt-cacher with an upstream cache with no problems." On the same server? I have verified to the best of my ability that apt-cacher is not using the proxy with the proxy setting disabled. With the setting enabled I only get the error msg. I'm not sure how to fix that. "You need to see if apt-cacher is returning the 503 or if squid is not configured correctly" Squid works for web traffic and wget but is not currently in the loop for the apt-cacher. "Define large" >20MB. I got to 200 MB of 240MB once. I was sad... Most files under 20MB generally do not have issues but I have seen it fail on a 3MB file once, but then on the next attempt it worked. I hope I have answered all your questions. Thank you for assisting me with this problem.
