Aptly support for resume downloads like wget

[sgtcoder]

aptly mirror update Max Retries should support resume download like wget has. This would allow a download from Spotify to complete successfully

Detailed Description

Spotify repo can only be downloaded with multiple retries with resume support. It would be nice for aptly to support resume support.

Context

We can then download repos like Spotify where the connection keeps terminating

Others can then download updates to Spotify and other apps

Possible Implementation

Depending on what you use to download the deb files, it would be nice to enable resume support like wget has by default.

Your Environment

OS: Debian 12
Kernel: 6.6.28-x64v3-xanmod2
aptly version: 1.5.0+ds1-1+b4

what downloader did you use ? there is the default and grab. The latter is supposed to continue download in a wget -c fashion.

could you try to configure the downloader to grab in either the config or in as argument in the mirror update command ?

[sgtcoder]

I used whatever the default was. Spotify likes to disconnect every couple seconds so it needs to reconnect and resume.

I am using this command

aptly mirror update -keyring trustedkeys.gpg ${repo_name}
