I am experiencing a very strange problem.
Yesterday I had my Internet connection switched to a fiber optic
network As a result I know have 120 MB/s both down and up.
That was the good news. Now for the other side. Synaptic hangs on
Downloading Package Information on Reload. The errors are:

rg/debian/dists/stretch-backports/InRelease Some index files failed to
download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Apt update (as root) gives me:
0% [Connecting to ftp-chi.osuosl.org (2600:3402:200:227::2)]

Yet if I download a package with firefox gdebi is perfectly happy
installing it.
Everything else is working without any problems.
Incidentally, this is a fresh OS installation (due to a mis-function
with sda and subsequent replacement.
Guidance will be much appreciated.
Could you try the following as root:
$ apt-get clean
