It's quite possible there's another problem with apt; it does seem odd that your network would work properly except when it comes time to use apt. I think I'd try a different mirror, perhaps one closer to home. You can find a list of mirrors for stable here: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ (and many of these will probably work for testing also). It may be that you're just having trouble reliably getting to debian.org from New Delhi. I see similar problems when my local ISP is congested (university, when the students are out of class and downloading the latest goodies, etc). -- Kent West Technology Support /A/bilene /C/hristian /U/niversity -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
