frequent stalls of ANKA package downloads/upgrades

[Lisa]

Hi,
I wanted to add this problem here as it is still occurring.  I use dial up 56 k modem which is probably why problem is occurring (slow connection).  I do not have this stall problem while surfing the web or downloading packages from Pardus or pardususer repo.  The following stalls occur after about a 60 to 90 seconds.  I have to keep doing 'sudo pisi up' to get entire package.    I have caching of packages enabled in package-manager. 

Code:

Since the error was HTTP 206 which means partial content, I think cause of this situation is slow connection.

Hi baDibere and Dirse Yalçın and thank you for the replies.

Yes, network settings>connection preferences> under FTP options I have unticked, marked partially uploaded files.  Default is ticked.  Will try changing this to see if it matters.
For Package Manager settings I cache packages since I can easily resume retrieving them if my telephone connection gets disrupted.  Maybe too if I change this to no cache to see if it has any effect.

I did try "pantera" suggestion, and get the following (added as txt file)

so I say 'no' as that seems many packages to remove.

I'll try at different times of the day to see if it helps make a difference.
