Bug#101182: apt fails downloading several packages, weird timeout

[Erik Hollensbe <belman@subdimension.com>]

package: apt or dpkg-ftp
version: 0.3.19
 
apt stalls downloading certain packages. it starts to download them, gets to a specific length then stops moving
+at all. Downloading these packages manually through mozilla, etc works fine. Other people that I know have
+experienced this bug.
 
let me know if I can help more, the current packages I'm experiencing this with are:
 
libc6 2.2.5-6
dpkg-dev 1.9.9
apache 1.3.20-1
 
i haven't tried apache yet, but the libc6 and dpkg-dev download just fine through mozilla on the same site.
