Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt-mirror
apt-mirror by default uses a retry setting of "-t 0" meaning infinite retries, it will keep trying when it hits the non working IP. For some reason this IP does not supply a fatal error that makes wget stop retrying. To avoid this I edited apt-mirror the following way:
old:
exec 'wget', '-t', '0', '-r', '-N', '-l', 'inf', '-o', get_variable(
new:
exec 'wget', '-t', '5', '-r', '-N', '-l', 'inf', '-o', get_variable(
But i don't think it's the best solution. there should be a way to notify the user of the bad links or unreachable ips, blocked ips, bad dns....
