Log file with timeout errors

Build ID: 3.4M6a

Steps To Reproduce:
I tried to create a shared install of Eclipse with the p2 installer from the download page. During the install, I had several timeout errors in the log.

The installer showed an error in the main window and only offered me the "Close" button.

When I start the installer again, now, it will think for a while and then simply exit without an error in the log file.

Log file with timeout

This is the log file in which I got during the first attempt to install. It contains a timeout while downloading http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4milestones/plugins/com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.37.v200803061811.jar.

Log file when I try to continue the installation

So the first attempt to install failed. I closed the UI and started it again. It would say "Resolve dependencies" think for a few moments and then fail.

This time, nothing was downloaded at all (not even the failed file from the first attempt).

My guess is that you download the file with it's final name and forget to delete it when the download fails creating a corrupt cache. Where can I find this cache?

I've tried several times but I'm always getting a timeout eventually. After the timeout, I have to delete the install directory and start over.

I suggest that you up the severity of this bug to "blocker" because this is a killer.
