Hi!

Sometimes I see this:

=====
# debdelta-upgrade
Created,    time  0.26sec, speed 221kB/sec, binutils_2.33.50.20200107-1_amd64.deb
(...)
Created,    time  0.29sec, speed 133kB/sec, libglx0_1.3.0-7_i386.deb
debdelta-upgrade : Remote end closed connection without response
=====

Maybe debdelta could automatically retry to reconnect (and continue the
upgrade) after a short period, after receiving an unexpected connection
close like this.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson

I also stumble over this problem all the time.
I use debdelta over slow and unreliable connections (package loss around
5%).
And it would be really really helpful if he'd continue after loosing the
connection.
