I've not seen any problems with apt-get and network problems.  My 
connection has been really flaky over the past couple of days and kept 
dropping out however the two Ubuntu 7.10 machines I've installed have 
been happy to not find updates and then continue downloading them when 
the network connectivity has come back.
