OK, attached are tarred/gzip strace files. apt.strace.1147 is the
methods/ftp one ... These were created with your suggested strace
with apt-get update. I killed apt-get (SIGINT) after 2 connection
timeouts, as I didn't think you'll need any more of the same connection
timeout rubbish - 2 should be plenty ...
Running apt-get with -o Acquire::HTTP::PipelineDepth=0
(or Pipeline-Depth=0 as specified in apt.conf(5)) made no
difference to the problem.
