Are one or several Ubuntu update servers down? This is the log from my apt-cacher:

Yeah I'm getting no speed at all. Takes 15min to download 2mb cache file. I assume it's all the people jumping up for the beta?

it answers to ping, but i can't connect

9.04 runs so well on this old hardware - this is the first time i've not been eager to upgrade, i have all the ubuntu goodness one seems to need. 9.10 looks like another winner though.

i've installed 9.04 on several laptops for people who are tired of windows' problems and they all love ubuntu.

Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?"

Glad I'm not the only one.

I guess it's the beta, now that you're mentioning it - I've had terrible speeds (maxes at 15 kbps) downloading updates and the Translation-en_US Packages are throwing me errors, in every single repository. Weird tho, the Opera Repository is sending those errors, too.

Anyone else experiencing slow update lists?

I'm getting *very* slow download as well. Another disturbing thing: it was unable to authenticate the files.

I just had to reinstall & have to install 251 updates and its so far taken 45 min to get 119 packages no matter what I try. and it still says 2hrs to go.

Same here. security updates won't download.
I switched from wireless to wired thinking my wireless was giving me troubles.

I guess we will have to wait - perhaps in a day or two things will go back to normal.
Go, beta testers, make it worthwhile =)

I am also getting very slow download. I have a 1 mb dsl connection and could not download vlc player. Took more than two hours and still in the end it failed to fetch all the files. Don't know whats going on.

It would be nice to know if it's high load on the servers, or if they're down, or temporarily on a slower machine or something. Is there a place you can go to find out status information?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but as a beta tester (coming from alpha), I am unable to download the newest updates as well. Horrible connection speeds... Ahh, switching to a different mirror helps :guitar:

I would think/hope that the beta testers are testing by downloading the beta ISO via BitTorrent and installing a fresh copy.

Some will do that, but others like me are just upgrading from the latest alpha. We were on beta stage 2 days before it reached the public (because of the freeze period).

We could also restore a Jaunty install and upgrade from there. All are viable options for beta-testers.

Auto update finally completed with the exception of the new kernel. I guess I'll wait till tomorrow.

I'm sure they are just hammered with updates from Beta downloads. It was rather funny to watch my D/L drop to 8748 B/s, Trying to install Flash Player right now, 20 minutes later and I'm 12% into it.:P

been having the same issue for 36-48 hours, at multiple sites. slow, flapping connections running at most 100kbps.

I just got a message after waiting a few hours, that the kernel upgrade in channel has is "Not Authenticated". I'm certainly not going to install a non-authenticated kernel.

finally it updated all files but download rate was very low it was about 12kb or something.

Yeah yeah yeah, today was a big release day; 9.10 was Beta'd, OpenOffice was updated, etc. A lot of users running their updates, so basically they are DDoSing the servers without even knowing it =P

They seem to be running a bit smoother, still getting bad speeds, but not horrible as before.


Just a small random question about the update servers, us.archive.ubuntu.com's servers are hosted in the UK, even though they use "us." as the subdomain. I find it a bit odd that they would use that subdomain but not host servers where it is implying to be located.

libsmbclient, winbind, etc. updates for 9.04 for me can't even download, and I have cable.

Um...All I said was I use the Karmic koala on my virtual box - and then every1 starts downloading it - doh!:lolflag:


Its gonna be 1 heap of good stuff - just b4 Xmas too - its really cool - honest - you wanna see the graphics for the backgrounds and the themes and the things coming with it - it'll knock M/soft 7 for six! :p :guitar:

...and you can get a better rendition of Euca;iptus and the Cloud...Really Kool!

Interesting...

I run apt-cacher, which caches all of the package downloads on a server inside my network, and then all other machines use it as their server for updates... and until now I didn't realize how much apt-cacher still depends heavily on being able to reach the outside world. In a situation like this, I expected it to still be able to deliver updates to my local boxes if they were requesting updates that it already had cached. (This happens a lot for me because I run updates on machines running the live CD, which is why I started using apt-cacher in the first place.) Turns out it's not such a smooth process (it barely happens at all) if apt-cacher can't reach the outside world.

But... apt-cacher does have a "run offline" mode ... now that it's in offline mode, my machines are getting their updates and all is well. :)

I had to do an install on my new (but very old) server. It was slow enough that I wasn't patient enough to wait for it.

If you are trying to download karmic beta please use the mirrors or torrents. This will free up the main servers for their update duties.

Thank you for your cooperation.

i am trying to do updates on a fresh 9.04 install, many are failing, speeds are slow than fast than slow again.

switching to another countries repositories fixed the problem.
