Hi Bill,
what problems do you observe? Do packages report incorrect size / checksum
after download? Or do you get a 404 response? Or something else?
Lately, I've been seeing more often that probably due to a malfunctioning
transparent proxy somewhere at the provider, I'm getting corrupted and apt
lists or damaged packages. And I have to download them repeatedly and
repeatedly and... For such cases, it usually helps me to set up apt to
know that the broken proxy is in the way:
Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";
Acquire::http::No-Cache=True;
Acquire::BrokenProxy=true;
Cheers
