On 5 or 6 occasions anumber of files are downloaded more then once. Below is an example on my current upgradeGet:95 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.3-3 [8389kB] Get:96 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.3-3 [8389kB]So far this is the only time it has happened in this run. 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..
Just remembered that I had saved some of the 'multiple' downloads from last week.
