[Aptitude-devel] Bug#818582: aptitude cannot deal with often changing IP

[Jaakov]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3

Some internet providers change the IP address of clients frequently - 
approximately once a minute instead of once a day. "aptitude update" and 
aptitude downloads executed by such clients cannot deal with this fact - 
neither with passive nor with active sockets. They manage to download a 
bit before the IP change and then say that a socket cannot be connected.

An improvement is needed. If it's already implemented, I'd like to see 
the documentation of this feature.

Thanks in advance

Jaakov
