Thanks for the feedback...

The latest version (available off the Beta Links) fails when the HTTP
fails. This is probably a bit better, but still not perfect. Ideally one
will load packages off your *own* server vs. relying on a packages across
the internet. In a yet to be released version, Trinux has the ability to
download packages become a package server (or use packages on a fixed
filesystem, CD-ROM, etc.)
