Well... unfortunately I must tell you that from some time to now I've been having
just the same problem with gnome-apt... It does the whole dowload of the ¨.deb¨s, and
then just beeps and goes back to the initial window... It seems to be a small problem
that was introduced from 2-3 weeks to now, I'd say... The solution I use is to empty
the /var/cache/apt/archives dir, then run gnome-apt and then,, after the download is
done, cd /var/cacge/apt/archives and do a dpkg -i *.deb... Just a workaround, but
works...

Also, a qustion... couldn't gnome-apt (and apt-get) be set to resume downloading
automatically until the doanload is finished (like wget does?)
