> The script even creates an output _explaining_ everything: .... I don't see the problem with that... I never said the explanations where the problem, the functionality is: it just becomes too manual to complete a download in such circumstances. I think Debian's scripts rotate through the download list without flagging things as unavailable, but most importantly, if their script gives up it implements a "resume" logic next time it's called. I think the Download script would benefit from logic that makes it easier to resume, tougher to give up (every time it gives up the Rock hacker is tempted to give up too), and, why not, trying non-optimal mirrors too. What I am hinting at here is that we need to comploeted the download at all costs, so why should I try harder when I can try smarter?
