    Update speed

    Is anyone else getting terribly slow update times?
    Code:
    apt-get update
    ...
    Fetched 2,841 kB in 15min 47s (2,998 B/s)
    I feel like this is too slow to be normal. What can I do to fix this?

    Open Software Sources and select a different download server to see if that is the cause.

    Good Luck
