    Exclamation Why packages.ubuntu.com does not respond?

    In the last months i can see that packages.ubuntu.com does not respond at all or load very very slow (several minutes).

    What is happening?.

    It gives a very bad impression of a project as Ubuntu, having one of the most important web searching tools to do not work at all.

    If the problem is that servers are overloaded, i think that Ubuntu should resolve this. Debian with less money and resources do not have this problem in packages.debian.org
    Canonical should solve this problem with financial resources if necessary, because this is very useful web resource.
    Vote for: Focus more on stability and bugfixing in the LTS releases.!!

    erlguta,

    One thing you can do is to find a sever closer to you.

    Click > System > Administration > Software Sources

    The first tab Ubuntu Software has an option Download From:

    which lets you pick a mirror site closer to your location.

    It's not about downloading packages, that just works fine. http://packages.ubuntu.com is a website to search for packages.
