[Bug 741473] Re: installer hangs due to loss of network connection

[Per Ångström]

OK, after several minutes the download started again and ran to a
successful conclusion. So I think I may have been too quick to file this
bug. But it would have been helpful to have had some sort of indication
that the downloader was still alive and waiting. It also took a very
long time to restart from that the connection was reinstated.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
  
  I was using Update Manager to update to the latest flashplugin-
  installer. While the installer was downloading the flashplugin my 3G
  modem lost coverage and I had to reinitialize it. That made the
- installer hang and I had to abort the update.
+ installer hang.
