When it downloads two files at a time, this means there are two lines
in /etc/apt/sources.list corresponding to the two files.  The only way
I can think of of forcing it to download from only one, is to comment
out one of the lines.

But I don't see that yoy should need to do this.  Just ignore the one
that times out and download everything else.  Then when everything
else is downloaded, run apt-get again, and this time it will only try
to download from the timed-out site.  So the second time through it
will only be trying to download from one site.

Cheers,

Mark.

 
   it downloads two of them and one of them timeouts quite often.
 
   this happens since I moved and now only have 33.600 (I used to have
 about 42.000 and it worked ok)
 
   [haven't found anything realted in man apt-get]
 
   TIA
