I'm also having this problem but when I use lighttpd as server of the mirror.
Using lighttpd is very easy to reproduce the problem. The easier way is change lighttpd to use a small pipe size and ask APT to download packages. More info at http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/657 To reproduce set server.max-keep-alive-requests to a small number, as 5, for example. -- O T A V I O S A L V A D O R --------------------------------------------- E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://otavio.ossystems.com.br --------------------------------------------- "Microsoft sells you Windows ...
