thanks

Hi again,

Although I regret that errors occur more frequently when using tor, I don't
believe this is one to be fixed in every apt transport.  Apt provides the
config value "Apt::Acquire::Retries" that should retry downloads whether
it's HTTP, HTTPS or any other mechanism.

Unless there is a specific issue that is tor-specific, that can be fixed
automatically by the transport code (i.e. doesn't require restarting the
tor daemon?), I think it should be left to that config variable.

I would, however, accept a patch to mention the above config value in the
apt-transport-tor documentation - and when that happens, I would close this
bug.

Kind regards,
