Can you advise about using apt-get with ftp.tau.ac.il ? apt-get update seems to work fine with the following settings: [04:08:40 apt]# cat sources.list deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org unstable non-US/main non-US/contrib non-US/non-free deb http://security.debian.org unstable updates [04:13:14 apt]# grep -A9 -B2 http apt.conf // HTTP method configuration http { Proxy "http://Proxy.israsrv.net.il:8080"; Timeout "120"; // Cache Control. Note these do not work with Squid 2.0.2 No-Cache "false"; Max-Age "86400"; // 1 Day age on index files No-Store "false"; // Prevent the cache from storing archives }; [04:14:35 apt]# Yet I can not get it to work with ftp.tau.ac.il.
