I'm getting timeouts on 128.101.240.212 (ftp.us.debian.org & security.debian.org) as well. Per the man for apt.conf I believe you can configure the timeout by appending something like: Acquire::http::Timeout "30"; Acquire::ftp::Timeout "30"; I haven't tried it, so don't quote me on that. The manual doesn't specify, but I'm presuming the value is seconds. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
