This is probably not a very good idea. Selecting packages to install messes up the dependencies and the sequencing code. It is highly unlikely that the user would choose a set of packages that are actually installable. If you want to install individual packages then use the commandline, apt-get install <package> If you want to download some then turn off PPP then simply ctrl-C APT before killing PPP, it will resume when you run it again. In future there might be an option to limit the amount it downloads per-run and this would more nicely handle the problems with PPP. Is this what you wanted, can I close the bug?
