Bug#44363: apt: apt-get restarts download from the beginning after a timeout

[jbeigel@gmx.de]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: wishlist

If there's a timeout during the download of a package with apt-get and you
restart apt-get install/dist-upgrade, apt-get starts the download of that
package from the beginning (at 0%) again and doesn't use its cache file.

It *does* work normally however when you interrupt apt-get during download
(e.g. with Ctrl-C).
