apt-get stops downloading from around 74% to 77% when updating from http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages. I have tried 3 different mirrors, same problem. There is no error message other than the server may have timed out and try again. Other smaller repositories ( less than 4MB ) update without issues and I can install from them. Is UNIONFS running out of space? My ramdisk is 3% used and UNIONFS is 84% used. I'm using Knoppix 5.01. Synaptic has the same problem.
