   I'm afraid that /etc/apt/sources.list has mostly ftp entries, and 
apt-get output indicates that these are the ones actually being used.
I haven't found any of the keywords ``resume'' or ``partial'' neither
in the relevant man pages nor the apt-howto.

   Also tried with apt-cache to figure out what's the package that
contains apt-setup but, again, with no success. Thank you for your
reply, any other hints greatly appreciated!

Happy new year :)
