I've been having an intermittent issue with apt-get recently, on my machines at home which use a satellite connection.
It sits here, waiting for headers, for several minutes before failing the connection and starting on the next 4, which wait for headers, etc.
ian@osiris:/var/lib/apt/lists$ sudo apt-get update
0% [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers]
I believe it's related to the latency of my connection, which is often 1500-3000ms.
Does anyone have any ideas on tuning timeouts etc? I've browsed the apt doco, but haven't found anything that helps.
Thanks in advance,
Ian
