So I wanted to upgrade my Ubuntu packages, so I ran

sudo apt-get upgrade

but it's downloading at less than 10 kbps even though I am using a 4G network. Usually I get speed between 500kbps to 3 mbps.

here's a screenshot of the terminal

So I wanted to test if it was a network issue, so I played some videos on YouTube in Full HD, they worked fine.

So what's causing this and how to fix it?

    May be Indian archive is experiencing some issue. Have you tried changing the server?

    Pick and use another mirror - launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors - but avoid any that have last update unknown as they don't update regularly, and can be slower (are you using one of them?)

  • thanks everyone. the download is over. it speeded up on its own later. But this will be useful next time i guess.

As already mentioned, it is probably an issue with Indian Server. Just change server to Main server.

Open Software & Updates, in section Ubuntu Server, and adapt Download from: to Main server.

You can also open the Software & Updates app by running a terminal and enter software-properties-gtk
