Package: apt-cacher
Version: 0.8-4
Severity: minor
I am not exactly sure, but it seems that apt-cacher first fetches
files and then serves them. With Packages.gz at about 3 Mb these
days, this means that apt-get sits and sits and sits for ages:
5% [Waiting for headers]
until the file has been downloaded completely. I find this very
annoying as there is absolutely no feedback available.
Shouldn't apt-cacher pass through the data it downloads as it
receives it? Should it not stream rather than serve?
apt-proxy seems to do this right (despite sucking badly otherwise).
