Bug#401263: Possible solution

["Gordon Farquharson" <gordonfarquharson@gmail.com>]

It has been suggested that this *may* be a networking problem [1, 2,
3]. This is a wild suggestion that could be totally wrong, but I think
that it is worth a shot.

Delete the *.bin files and have apt recreate them as before, and then
set the TCP window scaling to 0 with

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling

and try apt-get again.

I haven't had a chance to try this with the Debian Installer on the
NSLU2 yet, but I will this evening (UTC-7).
