Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist
I normally connect to the world via a dialup from a firewall
running FreeSCO. I have a time out for FreeSCO, after which
it drops line. If apt-get happens to hit a quiet period, it
sometime happens that FreeSCO drops the line, while apt-get
is waiting for a packet. After this, no transfer ever seems
to occur. It would be nice if apt-get had some kind of a timeout
value, such that if it hadn't recieved a packet in a certain
length of time, it would "tickle" the other end to see if it
could re-initiate transfer.

You mean like the timeout value that defaults to 2 mins? Read apt.conf
to see how to set it even lower if you want. Probably also want to enable
retires.
