Strange Synaptic problem in Debian

[Alvis]

Although I use Mandrake and Suse mostly, I've decided to give Debian a go so I can see if I truly likle customizing. :)

Anyway, I've done a net install of Sarge which went well.

The problem: I've installed a couple of packages with Synaptic with no problems. However, sometimes when I select a package, Synaptic starts shaking/vibrating on the screen. I can't close it, either, and it doesn't install the packages.

Any ideas?

It means the package was stuck in the repository and no matter how hard synaptic pulled on it, the package stayed stuck. :)

Actually, not too far from the truth. From the ToDo list:
"- if download failed, use a special dialog to show it". I believe the downloads are failing and synaptic is refreshing-at least that's my guess.
