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?
