Bug Description

It is easier to reproduce bug on systems with poor performance, like VM.
Reproduced situation on trusty, lucid, precise.

I'm doing sudo apt-get update, then after the first source and before last source will be downloaded, i've pressed Ctrl+C double times very fast. After this, i have three scenarios of unpredictable behavior.

1) Hangs on "100% [Waiting for headers] " forever
2) Lot of "Err http://some_source.dst release
                    Bad header line [IP: some_ip 80]" messages.
3) Exits with message "Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
