[plug] apt-proxy

[Adam Hewitt]

Hi All,

About a year and a half ago I setup an apt-proxy on my debian gateway 
so that my other debian machines could all pull their packages from 
that. It has always run relatively slow, ie. I get timeouts and 
sometimes the download is measured in bytes. I assumed that it was 
probably because I was running it over a wireless link that I hadn't 
really spent the time fine tuning.

Now I have just setup one at work and I am getting similar 
results...slower speeds, timeouts and "unexpected end of file" errors. 
Am I doing something wrong or is apt-proxy a bit dodgy? I would have 
expected better speeds once the proxy has downloaded the files its 
rather odd.

Adam.
