[Bug 1503893] Re: Packages are Slow to Download

 

Update: I added the results from a quick "ifconfig" run in the Ubuntu
Terminal to the bug report, in case it may have a correlation with a
wireless driver issue.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  For some reason, packages and updates are EXTREMELY slow to download
  from the Main United States Server - A simple download of just under
  120MB on a high-speed fiber optics connection downloads at dial-up
  speeds, DSL speeds if lucky.
