Why are updates downloading so slow?
Similar to this post ( Why is software slow to install using Ubuntu Software Center? ) installing software on my laptop is taking forever. I rarely get speeds faster than about 20 KB/sec.
I tried sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install software-center as suggested in
Why is software slow to install using Ubuntu Software Center?
