Package: apt
Version: 0.7.9
When downloading large packages from an ftp source, e.g. evolution-commen
(>40MB) or linux-source-2.x.x apt downloads said package, but doesn't realize
when the download is finished. It stalls at 100% and, after a couple minutes
timeouts and either continues with other packages, or if all others are done
prints an error message for the package it couldn't download.
My current workaround is using an http mirror for repositories with potentially
large packages like main.
I would like to add that wget also stalls on large packages downloaded from an
ftp source. But with wget I can ctrl-c out of the stall and the package is
still downloaded (because, like apt it stalls after the download). But apt
seems to throw away the package instead of keeping it. Also, if I let wget run
it will attempt another download after a long stall/timeout and then realize
that the package is already there and exit on itself.
My computer is connected to a router that has a wireless land connection to
another router that had a dsl connection to the internet. But apart from the
above problems everything (including voip for example) works fine.

Hi!
This ticket is related to ftp method.
As indicated in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=200272#21,
ftp method is no longer supported.
Therefore I'm closing this ticket.
