Severity: normal
You probably already know this, and it's no big deal, but if the download
of a package has been interrupted, then the initial estimate of how much
needs to be downloaded does not take that into account; it just assumes
that every package to be installed must be downloaded in full.
WyrmWeyr:~$ sudo apt-get install geomview

The following NEW packages will be installed:

0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 3974kB of archives. After unpacking 11.4MB will be used.
^^^^^^
In this case it actually only needed to get about half of that much, because
the package was already partially downloaded:
