Try downloading the 4 deb packages manually via ftp or standard web browser. Check the integrity of the download using the md5sums.
If the download works ok then try installing them manually with dpkg -i <packagename> This will determine whether it is apt or the particular packages that are at fault. If this still fails then I suggest providing details on the packages you are trying to install and what error messages are given.

I re-configured my computer and installed 2 copies of woody on different partitions, all AOK. One for experimenting on, the other for work and serious stuff. I enabled dial on demand, and generally set up the system. I then tryed to udate my system via apt-get. To start with there were 88 upgrades, it upgraded 84 of them perfectly, the remaining 4 are a nightmare. They just will not load on either system. I have tried downloading at different times, downing my firewall, even changing my isp from NTL to virgin. The problem persists... My /etc/apr/sources.list contains ... deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20020720)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free which I believe is pretty average. As an extra note, before my re-config I sucessfully downloaded all the updates AOK. I have tried to download approx 25+ times, its not a one off problem Is anyone else having this problem ? Is there a problem with the server ? Any idea what to do ? ANY help much appreciated, I am totaly out of ideas !!
