A feature that I like in wget is being able to set the time-out value, and
when it times out, it automatically re-connects and resumes the download.
Having a net connection that stalls a *lot*, this comes in handy quite a bit.
I hate having to C-c C-p <return> every time my download stalls. :)

Read the apt.conf man page.
Something like (from memory),
Acquire
{
Retries "10";
http::timeout 10;
ftp::timeout 10;
}
