How big is the difference in Potato to Woody?

Is an apt-get update session likely to be a weekend worth of pain?
Does apt have similar auto-resume capablilities as ncftp, for example?

I'm on Freeserve, so the connection gets dumped every 2 hours, and
being 50k from the end of getting glibc-2.2 and the connection to drop
is enough to drive me to drink! X-)
