Apt-get to retry downloading
When using wget, -c is used to keep wget retrying to download, usually in the event of an internet interruption. What equivalent of -c can we use for apt-get to keep on retrying even in the case of unstable internet connection which keeps on getting disconnected?

For wget,-cis used to resume downloads from where they left off. If apt-get is interrupted for any reason, just try it again. For more specific issues, please provide details. Also, check the man pages for wget, apt-get, and apt for the switches available to each.
