I can look into this, but AFAIK apt has supported resumes since more or less forever, and I can't find notes about disabling it in the changelog. Even if this was a problem, it's in apt's court, not aptitude's, since I still use the apt download queue. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
