[Bug 2122333] Re: Wishlist Bug - because of cellphone data, I have trouble with big updates

[Nathan Teodosio]

Apt does this, and I'm reasonably convinced that Update Manager will do
the same, since it uses the Apt library. Have you observed.

Note that Apt will first download all updates before applying them. So
given this upgrade operation:

Fetch A
Fetch B
Fetch C
Install A
Install B
Install C

If the connection is terminated before finishing to fetch B, the whole
process is indeed interrupted, but A stays cached. Next time it will
therefore start by fetching B and not A.

But let me know if you observe otherwise and I'll open the bug again.

Title:
  Wishlist Bug - because of cellphone data, I have trouble with big
  updates

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During the end of the billing cycle, my cellphone data is slow causing
  downloads over 100 mb have a hard time downloading. I wish there was a
  way to save the downloads every 50 mb or so, so you can continue where
  it is left off. my data goes fast when the billing cycle resets and I
  usually don't have any problems
