Ridiculous Time

[westie457]

Just ran a 'sudo apt update' with this result. Fetched 8,324 kB in 213503982334601d 6h 59min 42s (0 B/s)

Is there something seriously wrong.

I'm on the development release using the U.S. sever and it's updating fine. Your download server may have an issue.

how often does that happen?

converting that number to pure seconds was about 6 hours short of 2**64 seconds. that suggests to me that some clock somewhere jumped backwards by about 6 hours. maybe a time zone change during the duration measurement did that.

I know my d/load speed can be a bit flaky at times from any server, this for me is a reasonable speed.

I am running Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 on this machine.

I think this might be 'one of those things' to be filed under quirky behaviour.

In the past I have had a reported download speed in PB/s for the same command.

that time would be about 18 seconds if the shift of -6 hours had not taken place.

how often does that happen?

This is the first time on this machine.
The issue itself is not worth troubleshooting.
I just thought it strange and funny that a simple 'sudo apt update' would report itself as taking 58+ million years to complete.

The other times on a different machine when the reported speed was in PB's I am reasonably sure there is no server or connection capable of that speed.

The issues I have are with ipv6. I need to turn off ipv6. Otherwise updates just sits there forever.
