Severity: normal
Hi,
apt currently ignores unreachable hosts and tries to fetch various files
from them. I beleive it would be better if hosts that time out during an apt
session weren't retried for at least half an hour, or for the rest of the
apt session (could be customizable).

Erm, it does always retry. Depending on how the host is down you will find
that it retries in parallel with the downloading from the good host.
