On 5 or 6 occasions anumber of files are downloaded more then once.

Has anyone else seen this? IT does not happen every time I upgrade but when it does, it sure runs my up my download close to my limit. Especially when its happen with the linux-source and openoffice files.
Ay-yup! I see it all the time... Thought it might be my ISP... but now that you brought it up... my "aptitude update" is most frequently the issue..
Thanks for the reply, Jack. Thought I had screwed something up, again.Seeing this on both Squeeze and Sid but I don't think it's a bug in aptitude. At this point I don't have a clue as to where the anomaly is coming from. It only happens when I forget to do a daily upgrade for a week or so. Then it occurs on quite a few packages.
Actually, I can't say for sure the package 'is' downloaded twice, only that it reports it is. Weird.
