[Bug 926986] Re: package download stalls 12.04

[David Clayton]

Ok, fresh install of 12.04 Beta 1: - "Server for Australia" stalls on
package list and installation of packages,

"Main server" archive.ubuntu.com goes straight through ok.
au.archive.ubuntu.com stalls.
nz.archive.ubuntu.com stalls.
us.archive.ubuntu.com stalls.

So it seems the mirror archives are the problem with the standard APT
settings, but with the other settings I outlined in the bug report they
all function ok.

Title:
  package download stalls 12.04

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I use Australian repositories and in default Ubuntu installs
  downloading package lists stalls for minutes unless the following is
  done:

  Create this file: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80http with the following
  contents:

  Acquire::http::No-Cache true;
  Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth 0;

  Once this is done then package downloads proceed immediately, this has
  been an issue for a while now and is still this in the 12.04 Alpha
  daily builds.
