Why downloading behaves this way in apt:

The apt-get tool allows to continue installing the non-failed downloads.
Another benefit of this behavior is a summary of all failed downloads.
So the user hasn't to repeat the command until you figure out the
working downloads.

Furthermore the refresh cache call doesn't fail if one or two repos
cannot be accessed. It uses the same acquire/download class.
