I once got similar behavior trying to install Woody, because one of the several mirrors that load-shares http.us.debian.org was down. Apt would try to contact the downed mirror, randomly, and of course fail. Try replacing the above domain name with something specific, e.g. the Progeny mirror, and see if the downloads complete. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] I-Con's Science and Technology Programming <http://www.iconsf.org/>
