I use Japanese Debian, and ever since pools were introduced I've not been able to update many packages at all without download errors, and new revisions seem to be far less frequent.
Here is a typical apt-get example:- monkey:/home/neil# apt-get install modutils Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded. Need to get 173kB of archives. After unpacking 12.3kB will be used.
